Humans are social beings. Aside from our basic physiological needs, we human beings long acceptance and affection. In a fast-paced modern world where Social Media is dominating, our social lives plus the pressure in our jobs to survive may lead to mental and emotional health risks. Increased exposure to these factors may have us acquire toxic effects in our psychological health. Having a breather is a need to refresh our minds and emotions in order to have a good coping and protect our overall wellness.
Solitude is defined as the state of being alone. Some may
confuse this to loneliness but it is a choice while loneliness is a deprivation
of human affection leading to being sad. After a hard day at work when all that
you do is have conversations to different kinds of people and deal with so much
pressures, not only your body is exhausted but also your mind. As much as
possible you have to take some time for yourself away from social media and
stressful connections for a while.
Being alone could help you reflect on things and situations
you were handling in your everyday life. It will allow you have a clear
viewpoint on how you are doing each day as well as possible solutions on things
that are hard and causing you to be anxious.
When you have a “ME-TIME” for yourself, you can be able to control your emotions. May it be too much sadness, anger or joy. Intense emotions could lead to negative effects and may harm us in our judgements to people and situations. An allotted time to breathe could make us calm down our nerves. In that way we could attain the wisdom to act ourselves to what might be the consequences of our actions.
Solitude can bring us inner peace. It could make us achieve
calmness and freedom from worries resulting to healthy mindset and emotions. Let
us make it a goal to maintain our peace of mind no matter how stressful and
toxic our world we live in.
