I used to have the mindset of “I’ll try anything once”. Not so much anymore….

I no longer like to take unnecessary risks. I’ll try local delicacies when I travel, but I will not eat weird food made with animal intestines, blood, or placentas. I don’t like to sway too far from my idea of structure. I don’t like huge crowds.

One thing that I could try for the first time, that includes a slight risk, potential weird foods, and lack of structure: a solo wellness retreat.

It would be my “first” on a lot of fronts:

• I would be traveling solo. I’ve traveled to and from military and work trips solo, but destinations have always been with people I know.
• I would be dedicating a whole weekend/week to me. Just me. I’m honestly not sure how I would react. My entire life has been designed around someone else’s happiness in mind.
• I would be giving full control of my dietary intake to someone else. I’m not a picky eater, by any means, but I know what I like, what gives me energy, and what doesn’t tear up my insides.
• I would be spending a shit ton of money on something that only benefits me. Again, not something I have ever, ever done.

A solo wellness retreat is something that I could definitely try for the first time, if I were able to get past the guilt. 🙂
