ANECDOTE

Solo Motorcycle Escape

  • Peter Sagal rode his 2013 Triumph across the Midwest after his marriage broke up to get solitude and focus.
  • He packed minimal gear and accepted two weeks of sleeping and eating stops while living beneath the open sky.
ADVICE

Intentionally Seek Quiet

  • If you need stillness, acknowledge that wish and set the intention to gift yourself that time.
  • Take deliberate steps to create a quiet window for reflection when life feels overwhelming.
INSIGHT

Attention Through Physical Demand

  • Motorcycling demands near-total attention, which reduces room for distracting, trivial thoughts.
  • That focused bodily engagement allowed Peter's mind to become more coherent and reflective than it had been in years.
