Solitude Day 2023: Date, History, Reasons about Solitude

People are social beings. We are hardwired to search out social connections with other humans. As a result of technological and communication advancements, we are more interconnected than ever before. Sometimes, whether or not we like it.

Solitude Day is observed on March 26 and is not limited to introverts or antisocial people. What image typically springs to mind when you hear the word’solitude’? A scraggly-bearded, robed hermit who has withdrawn from society, resides in a remote cave, and chases away unwanted visitors. Even though more extroverted individuals may scoff at the mere mention of this word, everyone must recognise its benefits.

The background of Solitude Day

People are social beings. We are hardwired to search out social connections with other humans. As a result of technological and communication advancements, we are more interconnected than ever before. Sometimes, whether or not we like it.

Let’s be sincere, however. It requires a great deal of physical and mental energy to always be “on.” Worldly interactions can be exhausting. This is where taking a break enters into play. To recharge, you must strike a balance between your relationships with others and yourself. However, the concept of solitude can be intimidating. According to a study, respondents would rather be shocked with electricity than be left alone with their thoughts! Interestingly, men were significantly more prone to self-zap than women.

Perhaps this is due to the common association between solitude and loneliness. However, there is a clear distinction between the two. Solitude is the sense of contentment when one is alone. Loneliness is a negative condition characterised by a feeling of estrangement from others. Even as young children, facing the wall or retiring to your room by yourself were punishments, not rewards. Its forced isolation produces loneliness.

Indeed, solitude has acquired a negative reputation over time. Solitude Day provides us the opportunity to discover that spending time alone can do wonders for our mental health.
Whether we choose to practise solitude for a few minutes, an hour, or the entire day, our souls and minds will be grateful.

5 REASONS WHY SOLITUDE IS GOOD FOR YOU

Time alone has been linked to greater contentment and stress management improvement.

Thinking independently allows the mind to discover new ideas and possibilities.

People perform better when provided with privacy, despite the spread of open-plan offices.

Without external influences, you can discover more about who you are as a person.

You gain a better comprehension of your values through solitude, which enables you to make better decisions regarding the kind of people you want in your life.
