Thanks, and yes! I think of it a bit like shadow work where I notice the negative thoughts, acknowledge their existence, and then try to wish them on their way. It's easier for me to do this when hiking/doing a physical activity because the thoughts are more noticeable
this is so great, love a hike diary!! i wish positive thoughts helped me out in a hike, but i really think it’s only extreme negativity that gets me up to a summit 😅
Julia- These are wonderful! The vast expanse pictures are stunning, of course. But for some reason, I really resonate with the tree-lined sun-lit trail path. Thanks for sharing these! Hope you're getting plenty of outdoor time and sunshine this week? Cheers, -Thalia
Looking good, Julia! Love, Mimi♥️
Well, it's gotta be the Apple dance, by way of being so Julia
!!!
I love how you meditate while walking the uphill. And interesting method to try when negative thoughts come up 🤔

Hahaha. Whatever works! Sometimes I wish I was motivated by that stuff, so to each their own
I love a hike diary, but I love to hike! Hike on! Congratulations on 2 years of writing!
You can submit one from Utah
Sounds like an amazing hike! Thanks for taking us along 🥾🌄
Lovely narrative and images. This is one of your best Substack entries. Thanks for sharing and hoping for more positive-mind walking essays.
I'm so glad! Thanks for reading, and for this much-appreciated feedback
Would panorama work, instead of skyline?
Ooo. Great word, though I suppose "mountain range" is probably what I mean
Sounds like a wonderful hike. Thanks for sharing.
oh, the nostalgia! the grit! the no doubt you had bear spray : )
Thanks bud. I like how we can trade nostalgia (you visiting Brooklyn comes to mind)
