Solitude Challenge
- Reflect on how being alone makes you feel. Apprehensive, inspired thrilled or something else?
- Alone or in a group, reflect on how and where you get your creative energy. Many of us get energized from noise, movement, and a constant buzz of activity. But often that energy is anxious, whereas the energy that comes from stillness, quiet, and solitude is more steadfast and absolute.
- Prioritize solitude now. What would you need to do to schedule fifteen minutes or even a few days of purposeful solitude? In what ways could solitude serve you?
