In the meantime you can learn more on my website regarding the alignment of life and body, moving with more skill and less pain, while pursuing your purpose.
One thing I love about excursions in nature - is how they can always provide life lessons… IF you can translate the experience into metaphor.
Sometimes you feel something and think:
“I need a drink.” or “I can’t talk to that person.” or “There’s no way I can exercise today”…
The question is - what do you do after the thought?
For me, most mantras and affirmations don’t seem to stick-
The exception for me has been those words from Thich Nhat Hanh and his tradition…
What do I mean it doesn’t matter?
It’s a confusing statement: Because pain and the avoidance of pain can be one of the strongest motivating forces in our lives.

Freedom only has meaning when it’s used in relation to something…

I went to a hiking trail — Intending to run — get in a “work out”
But I came to a stream and that inner voice said - follow the water.
