Last Friday I went #hiking again and this time I visited two peaks in the eastern part of my country. The climbs were relatively easy as they were short peaks, but on the first one I missed a turn somewhere and lost quite a bit of time finding my way back again. I was hoping for four peaks but knew in advance I wouldn't be able to climb them all because of the long drive (more than 4 hours to the first, most distant one).
On my drive I was listening to This Jungian Life podcast and went through several episodes. Listening to that podcast induces a kind of meditative state for me and gets me thinking about things I don't manage to think about over the course of a normal day. Nothing stood out for me, however. I find myself feeling as being at the start of a creative journey. I recently resumed doing #tarot, I'm building a website where I can write my blog, and have begun to put more effort into writing my first novel, and all this while I'm still doing my day job, and taking care of my family.
I believe I've successfully established a morning routine that works for me. I wake up at 4 am, do a bit of social media (I don't always post something and I have no regularity because I don't always have insight that I feel is worth sharing), and then I work on something of the above. I'm currently working on developing the characters for the novel, and I'm slowly finishing the blog. I finish when my wife gets up to go to work, we have a cup of coffee, then she leaves and I get the kids ready for school.
Once they're off I go to work myself and when I get home the afternoons are quite varied. I'll sit down to work again occasionally, but generally I do better in the quiet of the early morning.
When on a hike, as always I tend to do it #naked. This is why I choose a weekday to do it because there's fewer hikers, meaning less people on the trail to go bonkers around seeing a naked person walking in the wild. I seldom meet anyone, and if I do it's in the afternoon and they mainly don't care.
My mind at the moment feels a bit scattered in many places at once and I suppose this is evident from this post so I'm just going to leave it mostly as it came out and hopefully all this coalesces into something more coherent in the coming days.
