Greatness is Found in Isolation

- Loneliness has more to do with our perceptions than how much company we have. It’s just as possible to be painfully lonely surrounded by people as it is to be content with little social contact. Some people need extended periods of time alone to recharge, others would rather give themselves electric shocks than spend a few minutes with their thoughts. Here’s how we can change our perceptions by making and experiencing art.
5 Benefits of Being Alone
Having quality social relationships is essential for mental health, but alone time is also important and beneficial. Everyone is different, and certain people, such as introverts or those working on themselves, may need more alone time than others.
The following are eight benefits of being alone:
1. Improved Sleep Quality
If you are always busy with other people, you may notice that it is difficult to wind down at night and fall asleep. Those moments right before you fall asleep can be uncomfortable if you are not used to being alone. Taking some time to yourself throughout your day-free of distractions, obligations, and screens-can help you practice being with your thoughts so that you feel more comfortable transitioning from wakefulness to sleep. Choosing to practice alone time can also help you feel more relaxed overall, able to have more restful sleep at night, and see firsthand the impact sleep has on mental health.
2. Increased Creativity
As anyone who has ever spent time alone can attest, having space from others can free up your mind to think of new ideas. If you are constantly in the presence of others, your mind is more likely to be engaged in being social than in being creative. Those who enjoy creative pursuits, like writing, painting, or music, may need to get some alone time (and even crave alone time) in order to create.
If you are not used to alone time, being alone with others may be a good way to start, such as writing at a library or in a café. Whether or not you are struggling with your mental health, creativity can benefit your mental health by providing an outlet for expressing a range of emotions.
3. Time to Focus on Setting Goals
Being alone gives us a chance to check in with where we are now and what we need to do to set and achieve healthy goals. We may even need to feel the dissatisfaction or sadness about where we are now in order to get the motivation to change something-and being around others constantly might distract from these informative feelings. Taking time to journal about how your life is in line with your values, plan your schedule, or even research resources related to your goals are all beneficial ways to spend alone time that will help us in the long term.
4. Increased Productivity
Scheduling alone time may be a helpful way to increase productivity because fewer distractions can make it much easier to get things done. If you are used to being with others, you might struggle to get things done when you are on your own. With practice, eventually, you won’t be dependent on others in order to be productive.
You may find that you need other tools to boost productivity, as well, such as making a list prioritizing what you need to do, breaking it down into smaller steps, and setting a timer to help you work for a certain amount of time.
5. Reduced Stress
Choosing to spend time alone can help us reduce stress by giving our minds a break from constant stimulation and activity. Even if we are around people with whom we are very comfortable, being with others involves certain expectations and social norms that require our attention. Having space from these rules and obligations can help us feel more relaxed.

A blessing, thank you. This was for me and so needed it. I thank Jesus for showing me and leading the way.
I'm glad He was able to use me to reach you. God bless 🙏🏾
Nice pics and place
I totally relate with this, you get to know yourself more when you spend more time alone, you get to unleash your greatest.
Facts!... “Isolation is a way to know ourselves.” Franz Kafka
Im an artist and i work from home. I've been self isolating since 2019, and still going. With this experience of being alone for too long, i've come to realize that we're not meant to be alone.
when I feel alone I go and minister to homeless people. I've restored 2 back with their families already this year. I feel energized and alive when I'm helping other people, rather than focusing on my own sadness.
Nothing of the world could ever make you feel the way you do whenever you're able to give. Christ was the ultimate giver, so it's not surprising that whenever you feel alone you revert back to your purpose, which brings you comfort, and that's ministering.
I couldn’t agree more with your message ❤ Thanks for sharing that

Thank you for advice sir !
I appreciate you for viewing my content!
Nice one bro👏🏽
I appreciate it bro 💯
I feel like I’ve been alone ever since I was born I’ve been alone all my life, so I definitely can’t relate to this video
It sounds like what you're experiencing is loneliness. There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. Being lonely means you feel alone. You don't feel like people care enough about you to talk to you or come to you. Being alone means you are alone. There's nobody around you. It's not just a feeling, its a literal fact that speaks to your current surroundings
@@TheStoicBlueprint I’ll be alone a lot and sometimes I feel lonely but I’m used to it
I'm somewhat the same. I'm somewhat an introvert so prefer my alone space more often, but you have to find a healthy balance because too much of anything isn't good for you
Great message
Thank you I really appreciate that!
I feel the same way as you bro
Keep it coming bro! 💪🏼
Yess sir! 💪🏾💪🏾
Isolation leads to elevation
Absolutely. It initiates an internal change within you.
