in solitude can reduce stresslevels by up to 60%?
Or consider this one yeah, someof history's greatest minds,
like you know, nikola Tesla andAlbert Einstein credited their
breakthroughs to time spentalone.

(00:23):
Here is a question for you whatif loneliness wasn't something
to fear but a gift waiting to beunwrapped?
So today we're going to explorethe surprising benefits of
solitude and how you can embraceit in a way to lead to profound

(00:45):
personal growth.
Hi guys, my name is Fabio fromJourney to Success, and welcome.
Loneliness.
It's a word that often comeswith negative emotions.
We know that Society,especially, tells us that being
alone means we are missing outthat.
How can I say that?
It's a problem to fix, you know, but what if we have got all

(01:11):
wrong?
There is a difference betweenloneliness and solitude.
So loneliness is feelingdisconnected okay, even in a
crowd.
Solitudeitude, on the otherhand, is choosing to be alone,
to connect with yourself.
In today's fast paced world,we're constantly told to stay

(01:37):
connected, so to text, to call,post and engage.
But in doing so we may bemissing the power of being and
engage.
But in doing so we may bemissing the power of being still
and alone.
So in this episode we're goingto understand better the way to
see solitude.
Okay, so by the end you mightjust see it as one of life's

(01:59):
greatest tools for success.
But, as always, before to goforward, please subscribe.
So I know this is the rightdirection to drive you, to lead
you, to guide you towards yourjourney.

difficulties, but overall youare going to see at the end of
the room.
So, the fear of being alone.

(02:45):
There are, let's say, fourpoints that I would like to face
this time.
So the first point is thestigma around loneliness.
So society often labelsloneliness as a failure, a sign
that you don't have enoughfriends or that there is not so

(03:05):
much outgoing, and they labelyou as an unnormal person.
So this stigma createspressures to always stay
connected, even if it drains us.
Ok, the second one.
The second point is the fear offacing ourselves.
So many people avoid solitudebecause they're afraid of what

(03:28):
they might find.
So self-reflection can beuncomfortable, you know.
But how can I say?
You have to force yourself toconfront your fears, your
regrets and your insecurities.
Number three is the culture ofconstant connectivity fears,

(03:49):
your regrets and yourinsecurities.
Number three is the culture ofconstant connectivity, so social
media and technology make iteasier than ever to avoid being
alone, and we've been trained tofill every quiet moment with
notifications, scrolling orchatting.
And the number four is theburnout Burnout from
over-engagement.

No-transcript.
When we neglect solitude, welose the chance to recharge and
rediscover our inner balance.
So these are the four topics,the four areas, let's say areas
full of challenges.
And these challenges show whysolitude is often misunderstood.

(04:32):
But by avoiding it, we alsomiss out on its incredible
benefits.

I see solitude.
A close friend of mine, alexlet's call Alex, it's not Alex,

(08:53):
but let's call Alex went througha tough time after a major
breakup.
So instead of rushing to fillthe void with distractions, alex
decided to spend time aloneJournaling, hiking and even
traveling solo.
At first it was uncomfortable,but over time, Alex discovered

(09:14):
things about himself he neverknew, so his passion, his
strength and even the limitingbeliefs that had been holding
him back.
So one day he told me somethingprofound.
He said I always thought beingalone meant being lonely, but
now I see it's where I findmyself.
See, guys, alex's journey showsthat solitude is not just about

(09:35):
being alone, okay.

want in life.
