“Life is like music for its own sake. We are living in an eternal now, and when we listen to music we are not listening to the past, we are not listening to the future, we are listening to an expanded present.”
― Alan Watts
It has been a special day for me yesterday with a really nice, clear sky and warm welcoming weather. Started with waking up before alarm clock, a nice breakfast as always, finished my shower with very cold water and decided to go on a hike before heading on a roadtrip with my mother to the doctors in our capital city Ljubljana.
Went on top of a small local hill called Rifnik which is filled with rich history and some left over remains of a castle and their buildings on top of the hill. It is a local hill I drive past on my way to work every single day, has a short 40-50min hike to the top and rewards with a nice view on the top.
Was a perfect morning workout and a way to fill myself up with fresh air and get the blood pumping. On the way down I hurried up, collected a few tiny flowers for my mother and headed to pick her up and start the journey to our capital city. As there was low traffic we got there early, so I decided to park the car somewhere for free in Ljubljana, outside of the center and headed on well-known castle.
Was lucky enough that I found a new trail to get to it and discovered a bit more of historic architecture. I also realized only at the top of the hill before entering castle that kids started with holidays so it was a bit more packed than usually. Everything is good for something I guess, as there were a few more doors open than normally and of course I peaked at every corner I could, for free. Yeah I admit I'm a cheap. :)
The sky started clearing out and the view was spectacular, especially looking at our Alps covered in snow that aren't visible every day in the week. Definitely not usually in Winter times. There was 15 degrees and just perfect for long walk around the city to explore. It was another great day to clear my head and practice new thing I'm trying out and recently discovered that it souts me well.
Found out it's called walking meditation that let's clear the mind and thoughts to focus on things surrounding us from outside and within. Helps me be and stay in present as this is one of my main obstacle at this moment. Always a work in progress, learning and staying on track to the goals.
I'm trully grateful for my healthy body that allows me to go hiking, to be able to drive, eat everything, visit beautiful places and be part of this amazing, super helpful platform that adds that extra boost of motivation towards my dreams and goals.
Thank you for going on a 'walk' with me, it was a beautiful and healthy special day. Hoping you enjoyed.
Wishing you a great rest of the day!
