Your senses are constantly absorbing information. Externally, you try to make sense of the energy around you, pulling you, and requesting your attention. Internally, you try to balance and navigate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that you experience. You don’t need to absorb all the information presented to you. This episode talks about having the keys to your own Wise Walk reflection.

Every time you hear the phrase “Wise Walk”, what do you think of? It dawned on me that we could talk about the meaning of our Wise Walks with more context. Actually, one of our fellow Striders even asked about how Wise Walks started, so I will share the origin story of our weekly time of slowing down and checking our reality.

I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP70’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Let’s go back to my childhood for a moment. I was that kid that wore their heart on their sleeve. I had no poker face. If something was bothering me I carried it not only internally, but externally. The good thing about my heart on my sleeve is that I didn’t go around harboring suppressed feelings. I could express all that I felt, and on some level that’s a gift. It’s a superpower.

On our Wise Walk, I talk about the core components that are the keys to your own Wise Walk. I am a sensitive individual, so I pick up on the energy of people’s actions, words, and emotions. Do you know that feeling? I try not to base how I move forward in my reality on external factors, but rather, I drop into my body to feel things on a cellular level. To drop into your heart and body, come with me to reflect on these Wise Walk questions:

• Where in your life can you give yourself that alone time to check-in with yourself?
• How does it feel in your heart and your body on a cellular level when you stop and slow down?
• What comes up and can you courageously accept your feelings without judgment?

Knowing how to drop into your heart and body allows you the chance to be aware of where you are in your current reality. Whatever is not aligning can be addressed in that moment as you consciously open up, and you can reconstruct how you are processing your internal and external world.

A Wise Walk creates a safe, open environment for you to process your feelings. What are the things that are going on as you process whatever questions, or situations, or circumstances are in the present moment?
