Healthy solitude

How is your relationship with solitude vs being social and connecting with others ? A decade ago my relationship with solitude was non-existent. Then, prompted by the pandemic, I went into a few years of mainly solitude, which was perfect and what I needed at that time. Now I’m focusing on a healthy balance between being social and having that so important time alone. To hear myself, reflect, and grow.Solitude, well healthy version of it ,is an important part of full and juicy life so lets talk about it.Connect with me:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/annamaluskitzmann/Breathe with me:https://www.tinyspacetobreathe.comPlant trees: https://onetreeplanted.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠Energy reading & healing: https://annamalus.co/Key topicsRelationship with solitudePandemic's impact on solitude and self-discoveryBalancing solitude and social connectionSeasonal cycles of solitude and socializationSolitude is essential for hearing your inner voice and understanding your needs.Pandemic provided a unique opportunity for self-reflection and rediscovery.Balance between solitude and social connection is key to mental health.Seasonal cycles influence our need for solitude or socializkey words :solitude, personal growth, self-reflection, pandemic, balance, connection, healing, spiritual growth, mental health, self-discovery
