SOLO TRIP: Sayantani Guhathakurta gives 5 compelling reasons to spend some ‘ME TIME’

Inserting a bit of solitude into your overfilled schedule isn’t such a waste of time, however. The busier you are, the more likely you will be benefitted from some quite time. In fact many spend a lot of time planning vacations but never plan how to get the most out of life! Actress Sayantani Guhathakurta who recently went for a solo trip to the picturesque North Bengal loves to travel solo. She believes these words to the core. You would often see her social media timeline flooded with vacation pictures.

For Sayantani, ‘me time’ means enjoying simple things like a stroll in the garden. Here the actress shares with us 5 advantages of spending more time alone or a solo trip.

When you spend time with a certain circle of friends or your co-workers, you often tend to develop a “we vs them” mentality. Spending time alone like a solo trip helps you create more compassion for people who may not fit into your ‘inner circle.’

Being alone sometimes guides you to become more comfortable in your own skin. When you are by yourself, you can make choices without any outside influence. And that will in a way help you develop more insight into who you are as a person.

Spending time alone can give you an opportunity to ensure there’s a purpose to all of the hustling and bustling you go through. Traveling quiet space alone gives an opportunity to think about your goals, your progress, and changes you want to make in your life.

We’re social beings and it’s important for us to have strong connections with other people but spending some me-time perhaps as important as any other options. The ability to withstand alone time might increase happiness, better life satisfaction, and improve stress management. People who enjoy alone time experience less depression.

There’s a reason many authors or artists prefer to go to a cabin in the woods or a private studio to work alone. Being alone with your thoughts offers your brain a chance to wander, which can help you become more and more creative.
