By withdrawing from the external world for a period, we create space for personal growth, mindfulness, and the nourishment of our souls. It allows us to recharge, reset our priorities, and ultimately find happiness within ourselves.

Chapter 2: Benefits of Hermitting

The benefits of hermitting are numerous and profound. By embracing solitude, we gain a deeper understanding of our emotions, thoughts, and desires. We become more self-aware and, in turn, gain a greater sense of confidence and self-assurance.

Hermitting also provides an opportunity to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with nature. Whether it's taking a solitary walk in the woods or simply gazing at the star-filled sky, connecting with the natural world brings a sense of peace and fulfillment.

From practicing mindfulness and meditation to indulging in creative pursuits, there are countless ways to make the most of your solitary moments.

With constant notifications and social media pressures, it's crucial to establish boundaries and prioritize screen-free time. This chapter explores how to navigate the digital world while still embracing the benefits of hermitting.

Chapter 5: Rediscovering Your Passions

This chapter guides you on a journey of self-discovery and offers inspiration for rediscovering what truly brings you joy.

Sam is a strong, independent woman that thought 2019 was going to be her best year yet. With a great boyfriend, a bustling career, some amazing friends, and a motivated mind, she thought the year was off to a great start. Before the end of January, she got into an unfortunate accident in a trampoline park. Unable to walk, drive, or even bathe easily, she had to temporarily move out of her home in Greater Boston and into her parents' new almost-retirement home in Cape Cod. Her work came to a full stop and she didn't see friends for months. Despite her new life as a hermit, her injury and isolation was the perfect opportunity for her to learn more about who she is and how she wants to show up in the world. In Happy While Hermitting Handbook, Sam shares the stories and the questions you can ask yourself while you're going through your own hermitting. Pick up a pen and get thinking with each journal prompt because each chapter will help you grow your connection with yourself, with others, and the world at large.
