Solitude, Creativity And Performance

“Life’s creative solutions require alonetime. Solitude is required for the unconscious to process and unravel problems. Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers.”

The following quote comes from Ester Buchholz and was cited over at PresentationZen as part of a discussion on the important of “alonetime” in the face of important decisions, especially those that require creative solutions. For more on the idea of alonetime, it’s role in creativity and connection to spirituality, check out this extract from Psychology Today.
