EP159: Detour Worthy
Naturally, you could feel that having a direct path to your goals would be nice, but what about the times it\u2019s not? Most people don\u2019t mind taking the long way if it means fulfilling the end goal. Is there a goal in your life that\u2019s worth a longer journey? This episode talks about finding what\u2019s detour worthy.
Good news: I\u2019m home from the hospital! There were a couple rough days. I encountered a few challenges where I needed to self-advocate in the middle of trying to focus on recovering. We may go on a Wise Walk about that topic later, but what\u2019s on my mind today is the power of detours when we choose to take them.
I\u2019m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP159\u2019s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Choosing a detour could be the best option for you when you realize it supports your overall well-being. There really are times where a detour is what you need, so the actual concern is about knowing which detours are worthy versus the detours you can ignore.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about figuring out what experiences and which relationships are detour worthy. It depends on what you define as worthy and weighing the effort you think you can handle. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
What detours in your life are you choosing to take?
-
What detours support your overall goals?
-
Are you aware of those detour worthy moments in your life?
-
Do you make time for the experiences that light you up?
-
Can you plan a new experience that\u2019s important and supportive for you?
Striders, you are detour worthy as far as I\u2019m concerned.
It\u2019s okay to explore the more scenic or more supportive detour of your overall journey. Choose your detour worthy route with these Wise Walk questions:
-
Who are the people in your life that are detour worthy?
-
If you need support, can you be honest and ask for help?
-
Can you embrace who is willing to show up for you?
