What I Learned Spending 30 Minutes Every Day In Solitude

Take control of your life by isolating yourself

When did you last spend time alone to think or simply enjoy the present moment?

We are living in a world filled with distractions. Most of your time is occupied by work, family time, smartphones (and other tech devices), Netflix, social media, or friends.

Even when alone, you get busy using your phone, reading a book, or napping.

You have no time to think or spend on yourself. You do not even have time to be bored because there are hundreds of ways to entertain you. People spend hours every day scrolling social media and other apps. We have Netflix and other entertainment platforms one click away from giving us the cure for boredom.

Do you remember when you sat quietly and did nothing?

By “nothing,” I mean spending time with your thoughts or enjoying being you. You didn’t have any distractions. You were simply observing things around or inside you. It could be looking out the window, enjoying the beautiful weather, closing your eyes, and embracing your internal emotions.

We no longer have time to spend in solitude because of all the external noises.

Solitude is not loneliness
