The Benefits of Solitude
The best art is created in solitude, for good reason: it’s only when we are alone that we can reach into ourselves and find truth, beauty, soul. Some of the most famous philosophers took daily walks, and it was on these walks that they found their deepest thoughts.
My best writing, and in fact the best of anything I’ve done, was created in solitude.
Just a few of the benefits I’ve found from solitude:
- time for thought
- in being alone, we get to know ourselves
- we face our demons, and deal with them
- space to create
- space to unwind, and find peace
- time to reflect on what we’ve done, and learn from it
- isolation from the influences of other helps us to find our own voice
- quiet helps us to appreciate the smaller things that get lost in the roar
There are many more benefits, but that’s to get you started. The real benefits of solitude cannot be expressed through words, but must be found in doing.
あまり人付き合いが得意ではないので、一人になれる時間って自分にとっては凄く重要。
今の自分ができることは
●朝速く職場に来て自分の好きなことをすること
●休日に一人で走ること
そういう時に色々なことをぼけ〜っと取り止めもなく考える時間が凄く幸せだったりする。
特に誰もいない部屋で朝コーヒーを飲むのは凄い幸せ。
孤独になるためには1週間ぐらい1人で旅をすれば一番いいのかなと考えるけど今の状況じゃそれはとても無理ですな。
