I am hard on myself and I like hiking 🌳

A little reflection around my mental health and how heading out into the mountains seems to be the ultimate cure.

Campfire. Widdling. Sleeping in hammocks. Not a person in sight. By a river. Clean air. No phones (almost, had to get some content). Brotherhood.

I’ve been in such a beautiful meditative state ever since getting back, a state that I very rarely find myself in with my chaotic mind.

When I’m out in the wild I connect with a different part of myself. An even more playful version. More innocent. Less worried. Fully present.

It’s like… why do all this shit if you’re not gonna enjoy yourself? I very much enjoy my work, and I am also running on deep performance programming. I used to think I wasn’t an anxious person, until I grew up and realized that 50% of my entire childhood I spent in a state of anxiety, due to my performance complex, always needing to impress. And that programming is still very much there in the shadows. And it keeps me from disconnecting from work/mission life.

It’s the very programming I am seeking to transcend, yet also the programming that got me to where I am today.

What am I saying with this post?

That reconnecting with the land gave me a sense of peace that I have not experienced in a while, and I desire more of that.

Because at the end of the day, it is when I can bring this energy of spaciousness and peace,into my work week, that things really start looking like New Earth.

We are our business. We are this mission.

So it is important we take time for our own health and healing.

I guess that’s my point with this post. I am seriously writing this as a reminder to myself.

Thor, go hiking every weekend if you desire. Take care of yourself. Trust your own flow. There is no rush. We have all the time in the world to build.

Blessings. Happy Sunday. ❤️🙏
