Pilgrimage: A Journey

Pilgrimage:
A Journey away from home in search of Well-Being

This is a definition Simon Reeve gave in his series, The Pilgrims Way and it resonated with me.

For most of us that time when we step out of and away from our ‘normal’ life and dream a bit about how things COULD be different… well, we usually call it Vacation.

So how is a Pilgrims Journey different?

Pilgrimage implies something more intentional than a vacation or sabbatical. It implies a sense of purpose. A definite, unmistakable end goal of destination.

But you know, it’s not about reaching that end…..

on a Pilgrimage, it’s all about what we learned on the Journey and how we’re going to use that to change. Sure, those journeys aren’t meant to be easy. It’s a way of building resilience both physically and mentally that will support us on our return.

It’s about finding that Vision of ourselves, our lives, maybe even our families and communities that we might have lost sight of.

A PIlgrimage is about remembering the value of those things we took for granted in our life, those niceties, conveniences, and even people that were within arms reach and made it all easy, maybe even reflexive.

But it doesn’t always have to be a trip to some far-flung place. For those of us recovering from a Life Tsunami like hmmm Long-Covid, maybe it’s right in our own home on our path to Recovery.

Are You Willing to Get Back to a Healthy Normal?

We know Covid-19 is scary.

It's hard to fight against an enemy you can't see.

But a 32% reduction in physical activity isn't going to help! Especially when the majority of Americans are already at an unhealthy weight. Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hypertension, all of these chronic health conditions increase your risk of serious complications from Covid-19, and your quality of life overall.

Not to mention the toll on #mentalhealth.

Every indicator of trouble is going up.

Abuse, suicide, addiction, self-harm, all on the rise, and medicating isn't the answer. Getting back to normal is. And normal, well it's always been about accepting a certain amount of risk in one’s life.

Together we can do this.

Let’s learn how to keep Healthy Distance rather than Social Distance.

We can spend more time outdoors doing activities that promote our health and hey, who doesn’t love a nice fire in the pit on an Autumn evening?

There’s plenty we can do to lessen our risk of contracting covid and even reduce our risk of suffering severely from the infection but we have to be willing to get back to a healthy normal.

If you still need convincing, check out this article from the Washington Times. And when you’re ready, we’re just a digital call away! We can help you build a Recovery Plan filled with wellness tools that work for you and are tailored to your needs to support Chronic Health conditions or provide the support of Wellness Coaching to promote a healthy mind and body for resiliency during Tsunami times such as these.
