I've been thinking about the things that bring us back to ourselves.

For me, sometimes it's being outside.

Sometimes it's traveling somewhere I've never been.
Sometimes it's sitting quietly with a cup of coffee.
Sometimes it's working on something with my hands.
Sometimes it's being around animals.
Sometimes it's a conversation with someone who makes me think differently.
And sometimes it's simply getting away from all the noise long enough to hear my own thoughts again.

I don't think there's one right way to reconnect with yourself.

What restores one person might exhaust another.

What makes one person feel alive might make someone else want to hide under a blanket. 😂

That's why I don't think wellness should look exactly the same for everyone.

Maybe the real question isn't:
“𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗜 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴?”

Maybe it's:
“𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗺𝗲?”

That's a question I'm still exploring myself.

And I think that's okay.

We're allowed to keep discovering what we need in different seasons of our lives.
That's the heart of what Grounding Journeys means to me:

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.

Not someone else's version of the journey.

Yours.

Here's something I've learned through my work with energy and Reiki:

Sometimes our first instinct is to fix how we're feeling.

We're stressed → fix it.
We're frustrated → figure it out.
We're overwhelmed → push through.
We're uncomfortable → distract ourselves.

𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧, 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 30 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨?

Just pause.
Take a breath.
And notice.

Where do you feel it?

Maybe your shoulders are tight.
Maybe your jaw is clenched.
Maybe your stomach feels unsettled.
Maybe your breathing is shallow.
Maybe you feel heavy.
Maybe you feel restless.
Maybe you can't identify anything at all.

That's okay too.

You don't have to explain it.
You don't have to make it go away.

Just notice.

Awareness gives us information.

And sometimes we need to notice what's happening before we can decide what we actually need.

So the next time you feel “off,” try giving yourself 30 seconds before you reach for the solution.

𝑷𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆.
𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆.
𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒆.

That's it.

I used to think there was a point in life when I was supposed to have everything figured out.

Where I was going.
What I wanted.
Who I was.
What came next.

I've learned that life doesn't really work that way.

There are still things I don't know.

Things I'm learning.
Things I'm trying for the first time.
Things I thought I wanted that I no longer want.
And things I never expected to want that now sound pretty exciting.

Maybe that's not being uncertain.
Maybe that's being alive.

I think we're allowed to keep changing.

We're allowed to try something new.
We're allowed to change our minds.
We're allowed to discover that the person we are becoming doesn't look exactly like the person we thought we'd be.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲.

Not going backward to find who you used to be.

Moving forward and discovering who you are now.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not done discovering yet.

Sometimes I think we talk about “finding ourselves” as if there's some version of us that disappeared and needs to be found.

But maybe that's not really how it works.

Maybe we're constantly becoming.

We spend years being a parent, partner, employee, caregiver, business owner, friend, daughter…

We take care of things.
We show up.
We do what needs to be done.

And somewhere along the way, there may be pieces of ourselves we haven't made much room for lately.

The adventurous part.
The playful part.
The part that loves learning.
The part that wants to go somewhere new.
The part that wants to sit quietly and notice the world.
The part that simply wants to ask, “What would I enjoy?”

𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙.

I think it means giving yourself permission to discover who you are now.

That's one of the things I love about travel, new experiences, nature, and even the quieter moments of life.

They give us opportunities to meet ourselves again.

Maybe a little differently than before.

And maybe that's a good thing.

One thing I've learned after years of traveling?

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

Some of my favorite travel memories haven't involved the fanciest hotel, the most expensive restaurant, or an elaborate excursion.

Sometimes it's been:
☕ Finding a little café that wasn't in the guidebook.
🥾 Taking a walk and discovering something I wasn't looking for.
🍷 Sharing a meal and conversation with people I just met.
🐦 Stopping because I noticed something beautiful.
🗺️ Taking the scenic route instead of the fastest one.

And sometimes the things that cost the least end up meaning the most.

For me, traveling well isn't about seeing how much I can fit into a trip.

It's about deciding what matters to me—and spending my time and money there.

That's something I want to share more of through Grounding Journeys: 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙠.

Because a memorable journey isn't measured by how much you spent.

It's measured by what you experienced.

For a long time, I thought about the different pieces of my life as separate things.

Travel.
Nature.
Reiki and energy work.
Learning.
Adventure.
Quiet time.
Meeting people.
Trying something new.

But the more I experience life, the more I realize they aren't really separate.

They're all ways of reconnecting - with ourselves, with other people, with nature, and with the world around us.

They're ways of restoring the parts of us that get tired from everyday life.

And they're opportunities to rediscover things we may have forgotten about ourselves…or discover something completely new.

That's what Grounding Journeys is becoming for me.

Not just a place you go.
Not just a service you receive.

But a way of experiencing the journey.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.

I'm excited to share more of that journey with you. ❤️

Maybe you thought you'd be somewhere different by now.

Maybe you thought you'd have the career figured out.

The relationship figured out.
The family stuff figured out.
Your purpose figured out.

Maybe you thought you'd feel more certain.

But life doesn't really work that way.

I've learned that some of the most interesting parts of life happen 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄.

New interests.
New places.
New people.
New questions.

Things we never expected to try.

Parts of ourselves we hadn't met yet.

You don't have to have the next 10 years figured out.

You just have to be willing to keep discovering.

Before you try to fix your mood, solve the problem, or figure out what's wrong…

Pause for 30 seconds.

Ask yourself:
𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙢 𝙄 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜?

Then notice your body.

Is your jaw tight?
Are your shoulders up around your ears?
Is your stomach tense?
Are you holding your breath?
Do you feel restless?
Heavy?
Scattered?

You don't have to change anything.
𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲.

This is one of the simplest ways I've found to become more aware of what's happening inside me.

And awareness comes before change.

Reiki and energy work have taught me to pay much closer attention to those subtle signals.

I shared the other day about the old, downed tree in my yard.

At first, I mostly saw it as something that needed to be dealt with.
But the longer it sat there, the more I noticed what was happening around it.

The things growing nearby.
The way the birds used the area.
The changes that happened with the seasons.

It made me think about how often we do the same thing in our own lives.

We see something that isn't working anymore and immediately think:
“𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?”

But sometimes there's something worth noticing before we rush to clear it away.

A lesson.
A new perspective.
Something that grew because of what changed.

Maybe not everything that feels like an ending is actually an ending.
Sometimes it's simply making room for something we haven't noticed yet.

I've always been a curious person.

I want to know how things work.
Why people do what they do.
What's around the next corner.
What I might learn from someone else's story.

And sometimes I find myself going down a completely random rabbit hole because something caught my attention. 😂

So I'm curious…
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆?

It could be absolutely anything.

A place you want to visit.
Something you want to learn.
A question you've been thinking about.
A hobby you've always wanted to try.
