The Hermit…

Lucky day for all of the introverts out there - It’s a “Stay Quiet” Monday!!! That’s right, zip it. Retreat and withdraw, friends. Even if you do feel like you have something to contribute, keep it to yourself for right now. Why? You are regenerating, refocusing and clarifying so many things for yourself today - even those excellent ideas can be shaped by this moment of solitude. But, don’t just disappear in the darkness of your bedroom or stop talking without purpose. Fill your silence with reflection and inspiration. Use this time to your benefit to merge two versions of self as one. There is a self you show to the outside world which is very different from the self you harbor deep within. How can you bring these two versions of you together to light your heart with vision and true intention? Perhaps there is an activity you have been longing to do that slipped to the bottom of your priority list? Welp, move it to the top. Or maybe there’s an interest or hobby you have long forgotten that deserves to be revisited? Or just enlist silence and wait for the path to be revealed to you. Take a personal treat within to reveal a more meaningful existence this Monday!
