Solitude

 

• Being alone with your thoughts is not automatic; it’s a learnable skill.
• Many people avoid it because the mind can drift to discomfort, anxiety, or boredom.
• Practising small doses of solitude helps build mental tolerance and clarity.
• Discomfort often fades once you stop resisting your thoughts.
• Regular practice improves emotional regulation, self-understanding, and creativity.
• Learning to sit with your thoughts reduces dependence on constant distraction.
