Practice intentional solitude~

“Solitude is not an absence of energy or action, as some believe, but is rather a boon of wild provisions transmitted to us from the soul.

“In ancient times, purposeful solitude was both palliative and preventative. It was used to heal fatigue and to prevent weariness.

“It was also used as an oracle, as a way of listening to the inner self to solicit advice and guidance otherwise impossible to hear in the din of daily life.”

~Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph. D. from Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
