Take a deep breath and relax


To become a Pathfinder, you need to learn to relax and let nature come to you. Take a deep breath and focus on any tensions of your body. Feel how your body relaxes. Set an timer on 3 minutes and keep doing those deep breaths standing up, relaxing your shoulders, closing your eyes. Let your thoughts come and go. Let them go. 

Get in the habit of devoting a few minutes a day, maybe before you go to sleep, to do a deep breathing exercise. This investment in time will improve, if possible, your sleep, and increase the quality of what you convey as a Pathfinder. Why not take a walk and do your breathing exercise right now? Do you hesitate? Why? Leave a comment on the absence of mindfulness we all experience in our busy lives. View this as an exercise to better understand your future participants in your nature walks. Now, before you continue, please do that breathing exercise right away. :-) 

Your weekly Skype conversation is about when your are fully present. What kind of setting is favorable? Do you prefer to be alone or with someone? Your tutor will communicate the date and time to call in. (Not available in the free version of the course)

We all go in standby through life, without inhabiting our bodies, looking for answers on the outside when it is really ourselves that we have to pay attention to and observe. It all depends on bad habits and the willingness of getting rid of them... if we know the answer let's put it in practice, because we really want to!
