Brian Tracy teaches that solitude is the most powerful way to access your subconscious mind. Solitude means sitting alone in complete silence with no distractions - no phone, no music, no reading, no TV. Just you and your thoughts.
In our busy world, we rarely give ourselves permission to simply sit and think. We constantly fill every moment with noise, activity, and distraction. This prevents us from accessing the deeper wisdom of our subconscious mind.
When you practice solitude regularly, something remarkable happens. After the initial discomfort of silence passes, your subconscious begins to surface solutions, insights, and creative ideas that were buried under all the noise. Problems that seemed unsolvable suddenly become clear. Goals that felt distant suddenly have obvious next steps.
Tracy recommends 30-60 minutes of daily solitude. The first 10-15 minutes might feel uncomfortable or boring. Your mind will race with random thoughts. But if you persist, a deeper clarity emerges. This is where breakthrough thinking happens.
Your subconscious mind holds all your memories, experiences, and wisdom. But it can't speak up when you're constantly bombarding it with external input. Silence creates space for it to communicate.
When your mind stops processing external information, it can finally process internal information. Solutions to problems you've been wrestling with suddenly become obvious.
In silence, what truly matters rises to the surface. The urgent noise of daily life fades away, and your real priorities become crystal clear.
Many of history's greatest thinkers practiced regular solitude. Einstein, Newton, and countless others found their breakthrough ideas in quiet contemplation, not constant activity.
Choose a place where you won't be interrupted. Turn off your phone. Tell others you need this time alone. Close the door.
You don't need a special meditation posture. Just sit in a chair or on a couch where you can be comfortable for 30-60 minutes. Keep your back reasonably straight so you don't fall asleep.
No music. No reading. No TV or videos. No meditation apps with guidance. This is pure solitude. Just you and silence.
Don't try to control your thoughts. This isn't meditation where you focus on breathing. Let your mind go wherever it wants. Think about your life, your goals, your problems. The key is to think without external input.
The first 10-15 minutes will feel uncomfortable. You'll want to check your phone or do something. Don't. This discomfort is normal. Push through it. The breakthroughs come after the discomfort passes.
Have pen and paper within reach. When insights come (and they will), jot them down quickly and return to silence. Don't start writing essays - just capture the idea and continue your solitude.
Your mind will race. You'll think of a hundred things you "should" be doing instead. You'll want to check your phone. You might feel restless or bored. This is normal. Everyone experiences this. Don't give up.
Your mind begins to slow down. Random thoughts still come, but they're less frantic. You start thinking about things that actually matter to you - your goals, relationships, problems you're facing.
This is where the magic happens. Insights start coming. Solutions to problems become obvious. You see connections you never saw before. Ideas for your goals emerge naturally. This is your subconscious speaking.
If you continue past 30 minutes, you enter even deeper levels of insight. Big picture thinking emerges. Life priorities become crystal clear. This is where transformational realizations happen.
Commit to 30-60 minutes of daily solitude for 30 days
Brian Tracy says most people never take the time to sit and think. But the most successful people in every field make solitude a daily practice. They know that one hour of concentrated thinking in silence is worth more than ten hours of scattered busy work.
This challenge will change your life. But you have to actually do it.
Early morning works best for most people. Your mind is fresh and the world is quiet. But any time you can guarantee solitude works.
If you've never done this before, 30 minutes is enough. You can work up to 60 minutes as it becomes more comfortable.
Schedule your solitude time like an important meeting. Protect it. Don't let anything interrupt it. This is your thinking time.
Use this app to track consecutive days of practice. The streak will motivate you to keep going even when you don't feel like it.
Spend 5-10 minutes after your solitude writing down the insights that came to you. This captures the wisdom before it fades.
Whatever comes up during solitude is okay. Don't judge yourself. Just observe your thoughts and let them flow.
