Deep silence is out. Lockdown has deepened this silence. Most people are now getting bored while living at home. Uncertainty and apprehension about the future is disturbing the mind. Of course, all this is distasteful, but a sweet song of solitude can be prepared with the tune of this silence. This sweetness is felt by every creative person at the moment. What is the secret that creation is possible despite uncertainty?
Initiative for yourself :
The mind keeps swinging in doubt. If something breaks in the house, then in the silence these days, that voice sounds to the mind. But not all the mind is the same and it does not remain the same.
The poet's mind understands this. Like - poet Naresh Saxena has said in one of his poems, 'Yesterday you felt deserted and today the crowd is pleasing, you are the same mind or other.
'It is strange to know that some people are immersed in a variety of concerns in lockdown, and some are happy in their privacy without being in the midst of these things. This truth is visible on social media these days.
The audio-video posts, while painting, writing poetry, or exhibiting their hobbies, are telling a story of solitude even in this serious, heavy, and silent time. In this story, people have become creative during difficult times and are happy in themselves.
A 'stranger' within himself:
American writer and motivational speaker Jim Ron said that we are surrounded by an average of five people all the time, that is, at any given moment you just can't be with yourself.
These days we are spending more time than ever in the virtual world i.e. mobile and social media, that is, there is more crowd around us at this time. How to identify your privacy in this situation?
Solitude is that extreme state where your blurred thoughts start to clear away from external influences. Ami Morin, a from North Eastern - University, Boston, has said his research in the world's best-seller book '13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do'.
According to him, if you go away from the external environment and treat yourself as if you give respect to others, then it will give a new experience and new energy.
In this context, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry of the Institute of Medical Sciences, BHU, says, "Most people who are trapped in a web of negative thoughts do not believe in themselves, or do not know."
We are our kind of creative person whom we did not recognize in hurry-scurry. Let's identify this stranger friend. 'Dr. According to Sanjay Gupta, once identified by this, this meeting will make you happy.
Take hold of curiosity:
If you are unable to engage in creative activities these days, then there is nothing wrong with this. Dr. Sanjay Gupta also believes that those who have been constructively active earlier are different.
Not everyone can be the same, but there is definitely one thing in common - curiosity. He suggests here, 'Learn how many things you wanted to know before, Now know them by holding the finger of curiosity. It can become your special friend these days.
According to him, this time the Indian Psychiatric Society is also making efforts to keep people busy so that this time can be utilized properly. If you are afraid of solitude or think it impossible for you to sit alone, you may not have had a good experience before.
If so, in this regard Wellington College, USA Psychology professor Virginia Thomas's advice can be beneficial. She says, 'Many people are afraid of being alone even for a short time.
For him, solitude is like an exercise in a muscle that has not been used before, that is, a feeling of pain and discomfort in solitude. If using solitude to your advantage, then try this exercise. 'Practice demands everything.
Give Yourself the Gift of Creativity
When you are creative, the psychomotor activity of the brain intensifies. Although during the mourning or intense pain it definitely starts to weaken, after some time it can become active again.
Creativity is not born out of inspiration, it is a product of our inner being. So try to go inside yourself. If Rama was tired and defeated, he could never kill Ravana.
That is why we have to try to keep ourselves happy. At this time, with a little effort, you can give yourself the gift of creativity. Surely this happiness will be different.
Solitude and Creativity :
As the twentieth-century painter, Pablo Picasso said, severe work requires intense solitude. Einstein often went on a walk in the quiet peace of the beach.
Nicole Tesla inspired many scientists with inventions in the field of electromagnetism. He had experienced his solitude, in solitude the mind becomes clear and originality is fertile.
This does not affect external stimuli. Watch the thoughts being born alone for a few moments. This is the secret of the inventors.
Solitude improves everyone well said.
