Solitude: Way to Reboot & Reinvent

Good news guys! Enjoying solitude or self isolation can help you to sail through global pandemic COVID-19. Mastering the skill of solitude or self isolation has an added bonus for you.

This is a virtual era full of social media interactions. People are telling their day to day stories via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Whatsapp etc. And If you ask someone to experience solitude once in a life, you will definitely get the disgusting look at this situation of lockdown.  

 Humans are social animal and interaction with other human is obvious. In this interaction, they exchange every short of emotions and thoughts directly or indirectly. These exchanges of emotions and thoughts have a greater impact on the mental, social and physical growth.

The negative emotions affect negatively while positive emotions affect positively. These emotions together play a part in building up a "Human". And when we tell this social animal that "solitude" is a state of bliss, he will be surprised only. 

Solitude means wilfully cutting off yourself from daily chaos and having something called "Me-time". People often mistake solitude as a negative state. But, actually it's not true. 

Solitude means living in your own company and enjoying your own company. Solitude is all about I, Me and Myself. 

State of solitude gives the chance to know about yourself. You get to know about your unfiltered emotions and thoughts. You get to know about your real desires, what you really want from life. It gives you the chance to explore your thoughts and emotions and to know about the real you. 

 Solitude is all about loving yourself and embracing yourself. It gives you the chance to know your flaws and embrace it and at the same time it gives you a chance to know how amazing and powerful you are within. 

Sounds of Solitude are Symphony to the soul ?

Solitude helps to align your heart, mind and soul together. You get to listen to your heart, your soul and thoughts going within your mind. 

When you listen to what your heart is singing, what your soul is asking, what your mind is suggesting.You get to know your true strength and emerge as a strong human being within, which is very important as a human to grow. 

Solitude creates sound within you, reinvents you without the worldly influence. Syncs every thought into the sound of self realisation  creating the best symphony to the soul. Which can only be realised by you. 

Its state of meditation in isolation where your soul interacts with you. And thats how you feel the sound of positivity. And it gives you power of self control to achieve your passion. The passion which your mind and soul feels.

However, people often confuse 'solitude ' with ' loneliness '. There is a difference between loneliness and solitude. 

Solitude is by choice but loneliness is not by choice. One can feel lonely when surrounded by everyone. 

 There is a quote by May Sarton which perfectly tells the difference between solitude and loneliness. 

"Loneliness is the poverty of Self"

"Solitude is the richness of Self "

                            - May Sarton 

Another beautiful quote by Goethe about solitude. 

"One can be instructed in society. One is inspired only in solitude."

                                                                                           -Goethe 

At solitude, you get introduced to experiences you incurred  while living at the masses. You get time to ponder upon them. Based on those experiences you create remarkable feats. 

Virginia Woolf quote is apt in elaborating this. 

"Masterpieces are not single and solitary births;

They are the outcome of many years of thinking in common of thinking by the body of people, 

So that the experience of the mass is behind the single voice. 

                                  -Virginia Woolf 

Solitude leads to self discovery. Mind functions the best when it is at peace. 

Solitude is a petri dish for creativity, intelligence, talent and fun. It gives you the chance to sail through your thoughts. 

"Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. "

                                    - Nikola Tesla 

"Talent is nurtured in solitude -

A creation of importance can only be produced when it's author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude. "

                                 -Johan Wolfgang 

"Talent develops in quiet places, Character in the full current of human life. "

             -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 

"Without great Solitude, No serious work is possible. "

                                     -Pablo Picasso 

Solitude often tends to give the answers of our worldly problems. It makes your mind calm and relaxed. It reduces stress and anxiety. Some of the world's best advice can be relieved when we talk to ourselves. You get to ponder about the problems and their related solutions. 

The bombarded day to day noise and informations often makes our mind confused and hazy and hence we fails to get the apt solutions. Hence, we should steal some time for ourself  to be with ourself. 

I was writing about solitude in solitude in my room and end up writing the quotes about solitude. I would like to share my write with you all, hope you all will like it. 

"Solitude is the only State, 

Where brain gets impregnated, 

And hence gives birth to Artiste. "
