I have no answers, just all the questions.
It’s no secret how much I value solo getaways. I find them to be an essential part of meeting my physical, emotional and mental needs. My Capricorn Moon in the 7th house begs for breathers.
Taking time away from life can look a variety of different ways for me, anything from a five-hour walk along the bosque just up the road from my house to a staycation at my home away from home.
I fundamentally stand for taking time to be alone. And, I am unapologetic about my desire for luxurious getaways. I worked my ass off in the service industry (restaurants, hotels and catering) and developed a strong gift for anticipating and meeting the needs of others, and I am all for doing what I need to get mine met.
I previously broke down how to take time in a way that really maximizes the experience of getting away to think, breathe and plan. Below are a few of the key questions I ask myself in advance and while on my getaways. I was recently asked for a little guidance in this area, so I was inspired to share it here in case it’s helpful to others. S/O to Christina. 😘
5 Qs to ask yourself on your solo getaway
What matters most right now?
What do I want to be different 3 months from now?
What do I have the capacity to do on my own?
What do I need to ask for help with?
What is the next most graceful step? S/O to amb
My hope is these questions are supportive the next time you getaway to think, breathe and plan. Let me know how it goes, won’t you?
p.s. I sure hope you’re holding up during this pandemic. I hope you’re giving yourself permission to nap, cry, veg out, sleep in, do nothing, eat treats, and just be. Sending you so so so much love.
p.p.s. If you’re a woman of color and are looking for a safe place to reimagine what’s next for you, perhaps the Women of Color Culture Club is for you?
