In this week's episode of LITE It Up, Dr. Aginah takes her own advice and practices what others may consider to be a radical form of self-care! Traveling is one of the most enlightening and fun forms of self-care. Whether it means traveling with a friend, significant other, or going alone, travel has numerous psychological and emotional benefits. While solo travel isn't everyone's cup of tea--it may be just what the doctor ordered...Solo travel is a completely different level of self-care! Check out Dr. Aginah's tips for traveling solo and the reasons you should buy that plane ticket.  

💫 You'll learn what you’re made of…in good way.

💫 Your strength and resilience is a result of peace rather than hardship. 

💫 If you're an introvert, the experience of peace and anonymity can be blissful.  

💫 It’s a source of pride to map out your own course. You have the freedom to move about as you choose; figuring things out as you go; and trusting that you can handle yourself. 

💫 Solo travel might even raise your standards.

💫 Solo travel is not contingent on relationship status. But if you’re single (and even if you’re not) it can cause an expectation adjustment. 

💫 You could make lifelong connections. When we are alone we tend to open ourselves up to the people and places around us.
