Power of Solitude

Solitude is not a synonym for Loneliness. Psychology Today contrasts the two: “Loneliness is marked by a sense of isolation. Solitude, on the other hand, is a state of being alone without being lonely and can lead to self-awareness.” In solitude we sit with ourselves, moving out of the social spotlight and into a mode where we can pay close attention to our internal energy and insights. It’s a time when our focus is on getting centered and in sync with ourselves, not in keeping up with the chaos of the world.
