Have You Valued A Walking Practice? Well I have...and let me explain.
At first I had my doubts...that's normal!
A walking practice provides an opportunity to actualize our life intentions along with providing an opportunity to
de-stress. Here’s my story…
A decade ago I was feeling lonely, I was wanting a life partner, yet never seemed to meet the right person.
Here’s the walking practice I used and continue to use today.
-
I set aside a specific time to walk each day with a focus on feeling loved.
-
During my walk I included self talk…“I'm getting closer, and even though and I haven’t seen him yet. I know, I absolutely know without a doubt, he’s walking towards me too.”
-
I also imagined seeing a figure way off in the distance; my future partner walking towards me.
-
When the walk was over I released my intention and went about my normal daily activities.
Why is a walking a powerful practice for making life changes?
-
When we commit to a daily practice we are telling ourself that our behavior matters.
-
Acting on our intentions helps us to release limited beliefs that keep us stuck.
-
Leaning into our desired future state on a daily basis seeds our subconscious mind. These seeds sprout new synaptic connections. These connections provide insights for how best to move forward.

Just so you know throughout this process I did have many doubts, that’s normal! Yet my walking practice seeded a new paradigm for my life. Over time my doubts began to diminish because walking, as a practice, encompasses our body, mind and e=motions (energy-in-motion) with our desired future state. I have come to realize that what I needed was a new a new belief and a new feeling. I began to shift from feeling lonely to feeling lovable, not matter what my life circumstance. It was only then that I met my future husband.
