I have discovered something; I don’t enjoy yoga. A few weeks ago, I wanted to take myself out on a date. Braving the wilderness, I decided to go take a yoga class. There I am, doing sun salutations and yet, I was miserable. It was all part of this exploration I had been doing, which I call solo micro-adventures, or ‘artist dates,’ coined by Julia Cameron from the book ‘The Artist Way.’ It’s a date that you take yourself on, a weekly solo expedition to do something that interests you.

But then, I realized that the whole point of the artist date is that you are doing something that actually interests you, or enchants you. Why can it be so hard to follow that which sparks joy? For me, my brain got in the way. When it comes to artist dates, I had all sorts of “shoulds” attached to the idea. I thought it had to involve some sort of healthy activity, or that it had to be a completely solitary experience. I had completely lost sight of the whole purpose of these solo micro-adventures. No wonder I would resist it! So, what does spark joy for me? After some reflection, I discovered that it’s dance and connecting with others. What are ways that you nurture your joy and interest? Do you make time for solo-adventures? My next micro-adventure will be a dance class, what is yours? Keep reading on micro-adventures on my blog
