Hiking is such good medicine for my nervous system. It flips the usual mental:physical load ration. It’s low mental load (we’re just walking and enjoying nature, away from all other routines and responsibilities) and high physical load (carrying everything you need for a few days remote hiking in your back, plus an occasional toddler). It feels more like the way we’ve evolved to be…not always thinking but always either moving or relaxed…brain quiet, body on.
I just did my first multi day hike since becoming a mum and it was wonderful. Through hikes have long been one of my favourite things to do. The fact that I can now share them with my 2 year old, is pure joy.
and thank you so much for your support 🙏🏼
