Don’t exclude yourself

Disney customer service speaker in mountains
Common sense sounds so stupid sometimes. But it’s never stupid.

Everyone knows it’s good to be nice to other people. 

How many of us know it’s good to be nice to ourselves?

Common sense. 

Not common practice. 

Eating ice cream everyday is not being nice to yourself. Not forgiving someone – or yourself – is not being nice to yourself. 

And so on and so forth.

Sperry Glacier hike, September 6, 2021.

Hiking 6.5 miles uphill yesterday provided a unique Church opportunity.

It’s not every day you hike six-plus miles uphill (with 3,400’ elevation gain). Some go a lifetime and never do it.

Brainstormed a company vision/purpose statement:

We care for our students like they’ll care for their patients.

Not a bad day at Church.

Painfully obvious, no?

Nature deficit disorder is common. Obesity is common. Anxiety is common. Being outside is not common. Being outside, daily, alleviates much of what plagues humans. Walk. Climb a tree. Watch a butterfly. Be a child. It’s good for many disorders.

Grow spiritually

Forest turning yellow for fall
The change is small and subtle at first. From a car, you may not notice as quickly as someone walking by. Literally daily, i walk this small stretch while uploading photos to the cloud.

Why start every day on my knees?

Growth mindset.
