#mindFULLMonday there is a thought that suffering happens when we want to be somewhere else versus living in the present moment. This was a good chunk of my day yesterday.… Trying to remind myself to be present and enjoy the moment. It was actually extremely helpful and our day ended up being between 19 and 20 miles with at least 10 of them being through rosebushes, overgrown oaks and fallen trees. I’d love to hear how you overcome those extremely challenging things when all you want to do is leave or quit 👇

Alright, have you ever heard that quote that suffering happens when you want to be there versus being here? We've been on this trail for, it's like 8 hours now, we've been bushwhacking, my legs are torn up, bloody. Um, and I'm ready to be there, I'm ready to be done and we still have about 6 miles left. So I'm really trying to lean into that idea of suffering happens when I want to be there, but I'm actually here. And the reality is, here, it's beautiful. It's so beautiful. We've got the Sol Mountains, if you go this way, we've got the Palisade and the Trident. This place is beautiful, but I want to be there. So, happy Mindful Monday. Try and remember to be happy where you are. Take each moment and be present in the moment and let's end suffering.
