Solitude, in other words, the state of being alone, can bring out the best and the worst in everyone. With balance, solitude matters. Here are 5 reasons why animators need (healthy) solitude:

1. Studies show that you tend to be more creative when you're alone.

2. Gives you "space" for reflection and introspection - the path to self-discovery.

3. Limits distractions and sharpens your focus more as you work.

4. Allows you to think beyond and freely express your thoughts without external or self-judgement.

5. A good way to bring balance to your life: find peace and comfort amidst a busy lifestyle AND environment.
