Why do Introverts Need to Recharge? It's science! It's all in how we handle dopamine. Extroverts want more more more dopamine. Introverts, we get our fill and we are done. To much dopamine and we get overstimulated.

How can Introverts Recharge? Take time to unplug. Solitude helps us clear the dopamine out of our brain. So build in time with our schedule to allow this to happen.

What is an artist date? This is a "date" we make with ourselves. We do something that allows our creative child play. Given enough time, the creative child can come up with all kinds of ideas.

How can artist date benefit the introvert? When we take time to unplug, take the time to schedule an Artist Date along with it. So that way we can leverage our alone time to really come up with creative solutions.
