Research has found that one of the reasons is fear of being alone because it makes them feel depressed , insecure , and anxious . Psychologists have suggested that in these cases , there is a need for evaluation of what makes the fear and to what level controls the person and behavior because it can be linked to self confidence . Results of many studies have found that when a person overcomes the fear of being alone with adequate therapy , they feel more independent and confident . Solitude can give food to our most powerful organ , the brain .
Solitude and the Corporate World It ’ s known that CEOs and most of the world ’ s very successful people practice solitude to maximize performance . According to Siebold ( 2014 ), author and expert in the field of critical thinking , a lot of people get stagnant professionally because they experience a cognitive overload . Not only that , but many people also wrestle with ideas , impulses , and trying to do many things at the same time because society had taught us to be multi-taskers . MIT neuroscientist , Earl Miller , suggested , “ Our brains simply aren ’ t built to multitask well , which means we end up diluting the quality and efficiency of what we ’ re doing in the process .”
It ’ s time to be mindful and focus on one thing at a time . Solitude is the state where you can find the missing pieces of the puzzle . Embrace it . Have a weekly date with only you and find yourself . When you find yourself , you will excel .
