Stay Calm and Hike On

“Rather than being your thoughts and emotions, be the awareness behind them.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

As I lay awake early this morning after a very restless sleep, my anxious mind began to spiral downhill quickly. 

Needing to quiet my unrelenting thoughts, I immediately jumped out of bed, got dressed, and headed out for a #summerofrich adventure in the crisp fall air.

The trail itself was a mix of mountain bikers and hikers, loads of easy to difficult terrain, and lots of twists and turns, but my mind stayed focused on the sunshine and calm while gently reminding myself that I am not my thoughts.
