Women Hike Wild

"Follow, follow the sun And which way the wind blows When this day is done Breathe, breathe in the air Set your intentions... Dream with care Tomorrow's a new day for everyone A brand new moon and brand new sun So follow, follow the sun The direction of the birds The direction of love Breathe, breathe in the air Cherish this moment Cherish this breath Tomorrow's a new day for everyone A brand new moon, brand new sun When you feel life coming down on you like a heavy weight When you feel this crazy society adding to the strain Take a stroll to the nearest water's edge, remember your place Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came So which way is the wind blowing What does your heart say So follow, follow the sun And which way the wind blows When this day is done" -Xavier Rudd #womenhikewild #rewildwellness #xavierrudd #natureconnection #natureheals #naturetherapy #stepoutside #exploreoutdoors #newfoundlandandlabrador #yyt #stjohns #hikenl #explorenl #20minutesoutside #mountainclimbing #windyday #followthesun #certifiedlifecoach #feelbetteroutside #canada #oceanviews #hiking #hikeoften #breathe #wellpreneur #smallbuisinessowner #eastcoasttrail #ECTlove See more

It seems strange to say now, or a bit late really, but I am feeling the toll of these past months. My creativity, drive, and spirit have all taken a hit. Honestly, it's been low. This doesn't ever happen to me at this time of year. In September, I am usually my best self. Fresh from the summer highs, I am ready to smash the fall...usually....

We have crested the place where our ability to charge forward has been thoroughly challenged, and we are coming up a bit empty. Each day I go through the motions of self-care: quiet morning, read, cook, meditate, stretch, exercise, and outdoor time. These daily rituals are comforts. They are dependable. They are stabilizing. My barefeet on the earth ground me. I wanted to let you know, you are not alone in your feelings now. Take care of you, each day. Find what grounds you and that which offers comfort.

You know, I've noticed that as I increasingly search online for that next hit of dopamine, I am increasingly dissatisfied. ... I scroll, click, watch, search, add an image, wait for likes, read, click, watch, scroll, click. It never seems to fill me up. When I step outside to explore, I am never disappointed with the wonders of the natural world. Taking a moment to fill my lungs with fresh air. Closing my eyes and listening to the symphony of sounds around me. It is in these moments that I feel full, complete, whole. See more
