Solo Meditation Retreat in 12 Days

[NatureB]

Since all of the Vipassana Retreats this year are getting canceled one after another, I will be taking Leo's advice and doing a solo retreat. I am nervous to do it. I may not make it the whole 11 days meditating. I am afraid that I will dilly dally after a couple of days and slack off.

 

The reason I am posting is to see what your guys experiences have been on solo retreats. I need some encouragement + tips to help this go well. I am excited as well! 

 

Why I am doing this: This trip started out as an excuse to get away from my job which I dislike, but has grown into a desire to go really deep on trauma during my meditations and release in specific areas. These areas are family trauma, "low" self-worth, my negative relationships with women in the past and at present, etc. My goal this year has been to release as much trauma as it relates to dating and having healthy relationships as I can, so that when I meet my next partner I can be as ready as possible.
