Hey beautiful people! 

Over the weekend, I planned a Solo Retreat and it was definitely needed! You are probably wondering what a Solo Retreat is, it is comparable to a sabbatical… But no need to plan a trip that takes 6 months, a year, or even a week! A couple of hours one weekend is all you need! 

5 Reasons to Plan A Solo Retreat

• You have been working non-stop 
• You are becoming toxic to others around you
• You are all over the place mentally, emotionally, physically etc
• You are busy without a purpose
• You are continuously giving and not receiving

Planning Your Solo Retreat

• First think about the areas you want to focus on- pampering, meditation, etc
• Next think of activities that will help you achieve your goal- Mediation- maybe a yoga class, lunch in the park, 
• Carve some time out whether an hour after work, a weekend, a month etc. 

5 Things to Consider Doing On Your Solo Retreat

• Have a goal in mind and do things that will work towards that
• Keeping the phone and other distractions at bay
• Being open-minded to new experiences and especially SOLO
• If you don’t live alone, maybe finding an inexpensive Air BnB or hotel to get away to 
• Remove yourself from familiarity- familiar places keep you comfortable, safety is key but exposing yourself to new experiences and places promotes growth 

Solo Retreat Themes

Tranquility- Are you seeking peace, deeper connection spiritually and emotionally, alignment with God, the universe and self? 

Things to do: 

• Read a book- bible, self-help ect
• Create a peaceful playlist- non lyrical would be best
• Get some sage, candles, incense and light it up
• Grab scriptures, mantras, affirmations to repeat, create art out of it to post in your home
• Journal 
• Get a massage or a healing session

Alignment- Are you seeking work-life balance? Do you need to rearrange or shift some things in your life? Are you emotionally unbalanced?

Things to do:

• Talk to a therapist or some credible person to discuss certain issues.
• Create a list of everything you are doing/people, ranking them from stressful to helpful and figure out a plan to rearrange or let some of it go
• Purge- your closet, your house etc… get rid of things that don’t bring you joy

Knowledge- Do you need to learn something new? Add mental wealth to your business, family or career?

Things to do:

• Visit local library or community organization and see about workshops or other learning opportunities
• Sign up for a class
• Google/YouTube University- research the things that you want to learn
• Keep a notebook of all the learning you get 
• Put new learnings to use- don’t just gain it and leave it! USE IT! 

Self-love- Have you been neglecting yourself? Always giving and not replenishing? 

Things to do:

• Pampering-massage, facial, detox, and yoni-steam, other similar pamperings
• Take yourself out on a date
• Get to know yourself again, take some personality quizzes
• Be sure to check out 27 Ways To Practice Self Care

Those are just a few themes to get your brain thinking!
