Hikes and long walks allow me the opportunity to focus on the present. Some days, I still find myself mindlessly staring at the walls in my house, and in times like those I have found something that keeps my spirit alive: putting on some tunes, grabbing one of my cameras, and roaming around my neighborhood. I can get out of my own head by staring at the landscapes around me, instead of blank walls that give nothing in return but anxious thoughts. I can rest my mind while moving my body, and I think that’s pretty neat. I’m participating in #HikeOctober to be more conscious about my personal mental health and pay more attention to the natural world around me. I’ll be challenging myself to bring a camera with me every time I head out on a walk or hike as well!
If you would consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page, that would be wonderful! All donations will go towards mental health studies and conservation.
Thanks a million!
