study in pinks

May 22, 2020

The weather in Connecticut has been really fabulous!  It is so refreshing to go for a walk when heavy coats or sweaters aren’t required!

When I do my workouts in the gym, I use music as a distraction – it almost feels like a type of meditation to focus solely on the music while pushing myself to perform.  Now that gyms are closed, I have had to find new and inventive ways to work out.  In addition to music, I find myself using nature to help meditate.  This past weekend, for one of my walks, I concentrated solely on pink flowers!  I tried to notice all the intricacies of every pink bloom I encountered!

I find this is a great way to savor the beauty surrounding me and keeps my focus during a walk.

Do you have anything special you do to help focus while exercising?
