Solitude

One of the things mentally strong people don't do is they don't fear alone time.

Spending time alone isn’t at the top of most people’s priority lists.
For many of us, the thought of being alone just doesn’t sound
appealing. For others, it sounds downright scary.
Creating time to be alone with your thoughts can be a powerful
experience, instrumental in helping you reach your goals. Mental
strength requires you to take time out from the busyness of daily life
to focus on growth.


Being alone often gets confused with being lonely. Feelings of
loneliness have been linked to poor sleep, high blood pressure,
weaker immune systems, and increased stress hormones. But being
alone doesn’t necessarily cause loneliness. In fact, many people feel lonely when they’re surrounded by others in a crowded room.
Loneliness is about perceiving that no one is there for you. But
solitude is about making a choice to be alone with your thoughts.
