Learning to be comfortable with solitude is a gradual, transformative journey that unfolds in phases. In the beginning, you may find yourself physically alone but mentally preoccupied with the thoughts and voices of others—friends, family, or colleagues—through phone calls, texts, or social media. Gradually, you transition to a phase where your mind engages with imagined conversations or daydreams, creating mental stimulation through creativity and reflection. Finally, in the third phase, you reach a place of stillness, where the external world fades, and you embrace the present moment in a low-stimulation environment. Here, solitude becomes a powerful space for self-awareness, emotional independence, and mindful living.
