The Joys of Solitude and the Power of Silence

 We live in a busy world which is buzzed by the hustle and bustle. We are always crowded by our friends, strangers, family on weekends. It is impossible to wake up one day and think we would not have any human interaction, it doesn’t happen.

For some people having minimum human interaction or not interacting at all gives them peace. They are in their own solitude place. For many people, solitude may seem a bad word, as they think to relate to loneliness. It’s not.

But there is a lot of joy when you think about intentional solitude- it helps increasing your creativity and imagination. It allows you to connect with yourself and process your mind, body, and soul.

You learn about yourself, your habits, preferences, likes and dislikes. Also, it gives your mind a rest. You least worry about meetings someone and doing that pretentious greeting, which you do. It allows you the chance to reflect and evaluate your relationships, your closet beloved ones, and your over-fake partners in life.

Solitude is good as long you are mentally happy, improving strength and balance and is content with life.

There is a difference between alone and lonely. Being alone doesn’t signify that you are unhappy or craving someone’s present but lonely means you emotionally and physically need someone beside you.

Studies have shown that those who are comfortable at being alone and solitude themselves live happier life; they are in good mental state and are not depressed.

When you shut the voice of the world, that’s when you hear your inner voice.

Finding time and being you in this big world can be scary. When you know how fragile and delicate you can be. There are people who are cruel and impassive, they know how to manipulate people and make them feel down.

In this modern world, solitude and being silence can be considered your weakness, but you know how make that your weapon. You can spare time for yourself and be giddy-

• Go bicycling or walking around the walk alone. This will reduce the stress; get to spend with oneself, and workout for better health. You can either go hiking at a local park and plugin some good music and see how amazing you are a partner to yourself.
• Sped time reading books, watching documentaries, and have lunch alone, to many, it may you have no companion but you are at bliss savouring this moment of yours.
• Go on a spiritual retreat. This is the chance where you will be by yourself enjoying, laughing, and indulging with new activities. It will improve your confidence, strong emotional stability. Consider going on solitude or silent retreats.

Being alone can improve your creativity and bring out talents that were unknown to you.

Being at peace and in solitude is not wrong, and you can visit a local therapist if you need so. Your mental health should be your first priority that you should be concerned about.
