Today, as mentioned in my last blog, I talked to people around me for inspiration for ‘offline’ solutions. This helped me look at our problem and solution from a different perspective, since it is easy to fall in a rabbit hole of ‘online’ solutions.
My dad had a suggestion I really liked about Animal-assisted therapy, which helps people with not only physical but also mental illnesses/issues. I believe that this could be a great way to deal with feelings of loneliness too.
Together with Viragini and Sofie, we had a video meeting where we shared our ideas and discussed our next steps. We wrote down a list of our most promising solutions (at least in our opinion) and we started on the next step; which is talking to 20 people about these solutions.
We will continue with this on Monday.
I really felt like talking to other people in our environment has helped us snap out of the tunnel vision we had and I am excited about our new ideas.
I will see you after the weekend.
