How often do you get laser focused on the destination (goal), that you lose site of the path you took to get there? Join Jean Nitchals as she discusses the Journey, and how we might approach our obstacles with a different perspective. She's coming to you from Sedona, AZ Bell Rock hike for this video.
This week, we're going to pick something that you want to go do. And I'm going to invite you to do it in half the time that you normally would. Why? To give yourself a pause. I'm simply inviting you to take a pause to look to see, to feel, to breathe, and to simply be.
Hello, everybody. My name is June Nichols and I am coming to you from Sedona, Arizona. Specifically, I am on the bell rock hike to get to the top, but I don't actually make it to the top. Spoiler alert. What I wanted to share with you today, though, is about the journey. I'm going to simply invite you today to take a moment or one time. This week, we're going to pick something that you want to go do. Maybe it's someplace you want to explore, someplace you want to hike, to bike to, anything. And I'm going to invite you to do it in half the time that you normally would.
Or I'm going to invite you to walk half the speed that you would normally walk. Why? To give yourself a pause. To allow yourself to see what you might not see because you didn't take the chance or the time to look up. I go on hikes. I love hiking. It brings me joy. It helps me to feel grounded. And there are some days where I know I only have a certain period of time, especially when I go on retreats or I go out of town. It's an easy activity for me to go do by myself. I can find trails on my all trails app on my phone.
But what I love about it is I've. I've discovered that I have a tendency to try to get to the whole trail, especially if it's an out and back, get to the destination. And what happens is when I go to do that trail again or I get done with the trail, I don't remember it. I don't remember anything about it. So this morning I did this bell rock tour or hike in Sedona. My goal was to get to the top. I did a live stream from almost to the top just a little while ago. It's the live stream called me time from Sedona.
And what I did today was I gave myself permission to not go the rest of the way. I also gave myself permission to go really slow on the up to see what I could see, to take a different path. Because the path to get to the top here isn't defined. There is no trail to follow. You kind of make it up as you go. So I bouldered a little. I'm not a boulder, but I bouldered some. I hiked on some trails and I made my path up to get to the top. And when we got to the top, I heard people around me ask, how do we get down?
There's no real trail. So I'm simply inviting you to take a pause to look to see, to feel, to breathe, and to simply be. Have a great rest of your day, and I will see you on Cadre soon.
