To our spirituality and functionality, perhaps what every one of us needs is some vindication of who we are. We want to be in charge and identify with ourselves sometimes. Connections with our inner selves can be lost in the constant distraction from friends, gadgets and unnecessary demands. Against the popular notion that being alone is weird, we search for moments of peace with ourselves. Such moments have triggered great ideas for successful icons like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. It is important to consider how solitude could increase and boost your level of success.
1. They are relieved from anxiety
Stress builds up in our lives and it is difficult to differentiate between ourselves and what is within. Spending time alone offers us the opportunity to slow down, catch a deep breath and set our minds straight. During this process we rid our minds of thoughts that are negative and unnecessary. Less anxiety allows for time of innovation and self-searching/
2. They have better memories
According to a Harvard study people are able to form lasting and pleasant memories when they are experiencing something alone. A dose of solitude gives someone the right perspective and sets an individual in the right mood.
3. They tap into their creativity
Time alone allows creativity to flourish. Solitude allows you to listen to yourself and focus on what you really want. Sometimes distractions can alter our thoughts and stop us from getting thinking out of the box. Spending time alone offers us the time to reflect and tap into our artistic self. Ideas and progress happen in times of individual creativity.
4. They understand who they are
The reality is that we were born alone and are meant to die alone. Some solitude offers you the opportunity to discover this reality; that you are unique and you do not need any comparison with anyone. Success can come from understanding who you are and what you want out of life.
5. They have better relationships
Spending time alone offers you a better understanding of yourself and what you desire in life. You can identify the relationships that will make you better and that are necessary to your growth. Also the relationships are better appreciated after you spend some time alone.
6. They are more focused
According to a study, students who studied alone fared better than students who studied in groups. Such study identified that students who spent time during solitary reflection had a more improved concentration. Better concentration leads to success in school and in your professional life.
7. They can recharge their energy and boost their productivity
The human mind was designed to take breaks and recharge so one’s body can replenish itself. Without distraction and spending “alone time” allows you to clear your mind and think more clearly. Your body also takes advantage of this time to revitalize and energize itself.
8. They are able to make smarter decisions
Solitude gives you the opportunity to think through every action you are about to take. You can be willing to stand for anything you want to commit yourself to. Solitude helps you find your own voice and your identity instead of following the pack.
9. They can attack problems effectively
No one’s life is free of problems or challenges. Yet, through the constant noise and distractions it is difficult to have a clear head as to what actions should be taken. You need some time to analyze and actualize. Solitude makes you see problems as temporary setbacks rather than becoming overwhelmed in them.
10. They appreciate the simple things of life
Solitude makes you see life from a clear perspective. You are not looking for sophistication or ambiguity rather do you desire them during solitude. However you can appreciate your being, your time and such details that you may never have been aware of. You can sift thoughts and cherish what is valuable.
