Join My Journey: Stopping the Dialogue in My Mind

There’s a few points I share throughout this video:

I share the peaceful energy that Mother Earth has. In the first segment, as I'm standing by the waterfall, there are also birds chirping in the background. And the stillness I feel in this spot of the hike is so beautiful. The energy of Mother Earth is so powerful, and beautiful.

In the scene where I’m standing by the branches, if you look closely, there are also leaves growing from the tips of the branches. There is so much that we can learn about nature, and correlate it to our own lives.

In this segment, I show you how if something looks like it may be dying (such as the branches in this tree), do not take it as bad change. Change is not always bad. And if we are open to receiving, what could seem like dying in our life could actually be giving way for new life to be born.

And this new life could be a new phase of our life. It could be a new version of ourselves. So its important to remain open and allow the process of unfolding to continue.

In the last scene, I explain the part of the hike that became difficult for me. The whole 5 miles up was uphill. And in a particular stretch, it became really hot, my ankle stared to hurt, I was hungry and thirsty. We wanted to get to a particular area for lunch and it was taking longer to get there than we had anticipated.

So a dialogue began in my mind, with life and the trail. The running dialogue was, “When are we going to get there?... When are we going to get there?” We briefly stopped, so I could drink some water. And in that moment, I re-centered myself. I stopped that dialogue. I dug deeper into my patience. And I came back to the present moment. And once I did that, I was able to enjoy the hike again. I could hear the birds chirp, and the gentle breeze on my face again.

So what I wanted to share about that moment of my hike is a lesson for all of us… Things don’t always the amount of time we’d like them to. They usually take longer.

And if we can release the inner dialogue of “When am I going to get there?” we will actually be able to enjoy the journey. Because truly, when we stop to look around, the journey to our destination is so beautiful.

This destination could be a hiking path or our big dreams in life. The point is to bring presence to every step of the way.

By doing this, the feeling we will gain once we reach the top/destination/dream will be so much more appealing.
