This makes it clear, then. The time we spend alone CARVES our path toward our destiny.

When we spend quality time alone, excluding any external influences, we are able to clear our mind and organise our thoughts. We put ourselves in the best position to completely FEEL our emotions and UNDERSTAND our thoughts. And when we are in this state of mind, we become ONE with our BEING. Have you ever experienced coming up with an idea and then feeling your tummy do somersaults and seeing the hairs on your arms stand with excitement? That’s your body telling you that you’re on the right track.

My journey with FIGS & FETA is one example of me intentionally carving out some time for myself. Being an online platform, there are times when a zillion conversations with my team happen simultaneously. I actually enjoy those because it is a dynamic, creative time. And it allows me to wake up each morning extremely excited to inspire millions of women around the world. I FEEL each soul that I serve.

What equally brings me pleasure is the fact that my work with FIGS & FETA allows me the daily alone time that I need. I take lots of sunrise walks, breathing in appreciation and breathing out gratitude. I meditate to rejuvenate my energy and clear my thoughts. I cook healthy meals—kitchen time is also my me-time. I visit the beach; have picnics at the park.

I know each one of us spends alone time differently. The important thing is that we spend alone time. Solitude need not be lonely. In the silence, that is often the space we need to be able to shine our light to inspire others. Someone is always seeking a LIGHT. Be that light they need. But first, you need to spend some time alone and find the energy to GLOW.
