The Power of Solitude: Warrior Mind Podcast #190

This Warrior Mind Podcast is based on the post “Solitude As A Success Strategy.”

The purpose of this Warrior Mind Podcast is to help you recognize and understand that your brain and mind are the most valuable success tools you have and that periods of isolation and solitude will allow you to reach peak performance on a regular basis.

Solitude is the soul’s holiday, an opportunity to stop doing for others and to surprise and delight ourselves instead. When we are hungry, we get the signal right away, and we pay attention. Thirst is sneakier. By the time our bodies send us in search of water, we are already dehydrated.

The same holds true in our thirst for solitude. By the time you begin to crave a vacation alone on a desert island, chances are your emotional well has already run dry. And so you need to learn create little islands of solitude in life.

Solitude is usually something perceived as a bad thing. Our whole society is built in order to fill these voids where you are alone with yourself. Solitude however is incredibly valuable because it allows you face yourself, and it’s also where creativity thrives.

Your feelings, your emotions, are the access point to your inner powers of mind. The most important part in the process of getting in touch with your feelings is to begin to practice solitude on a regular basis.

Solitude is the most powerful activity in which you can engage. Men and women who practice it correctly and on a regular basis never fail to be amazed at the difference it makes in their lives.

Creativity flourishes in solitude. With quiet, you can hear your thoughts, you can reach deep within yourself, and you can focus.

To get the full benefit of your periods of solitude, you must sit quietly for at least 30 to 60 minutes at a time. If you haven’t done it before, it will take the first 25 minutes or so for you to stop fidgeting and moving around. You’ll almost have to hold yourself physically in your seat. You’ll have an almost irresistible desire to get up and do something. But you must persist.

“In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone.” ~Rollo May
