Description
Ehud Bodner, Yuval Palgi, and Noa Bachman study two skills that may help older adults enjoy time alone, in a 2023 study. Positive solitude means choosing time for a meaningful, pleasant activity, alone or near others, without feeling lonely. Music listening and mindfulness both train people to steer their feelings, much as positive solitude does. The team surveyed 123 community-dwelling adults in the second half of life.
People who used music to manage their emotions reported more positive solitude. So did people with higher mindfulness. The mindfulness link held only among the older members of the group, not the younger ones. The authors say the findings support their hunches and add to research on how people grow into solitude later in life. They point to music and mindfulness training as possible aids.
