Walking away and mountain

1 Reply

Do you ever wish you could walk away from everything? Sometimes I wish I could walk away from everything and just walk forever. I know I can’t walk forever, but the idea sounds so calming. Have you ever watched the Netflix series of Gilmore girls? There is a scene where Lorelei is having a hard time with her dad dying so she goes hiking, but she can’t because of some reason, so she finds this trail and she walks all the way to the top of this mountain. The scene looks so calming. I think about that scene whenever I feel like my heart is racing. One day I want to go in top of a mountain and get a chance to finally feel at peace.

Yeah, I've felt like that before. Can you make your own peaceful place where you are? Like a room with some of your favorite things? When you think about that scene from the mountain top, could you enjoy that peaceful feeling even though you aren't there right now? I do visualizations, like thinking about enjoyable scenes. It seems our brains react positively to positive thinking, so I can relax even when I'm not in a particularly relaxing environment.

Not what you're looking for?
