I am on Bornholm, my new favorite little island. Following my recent experiences with mindful walking and writing, I know how to get right at the missing chapters of my book! And so today I will take you on a mindful walking and writing experience with the purpose to get some fresh thoughts on paper!
I leave our summer house at 5.30 am. It wasn’t planned; I was awake, and the beach and my notebook were calling me. Walking and writing is like meditating. I love the movement of my feet and my mind. Thoughts come. I write them down, then they can leave. I am practicing this mindfulness walking and writing combo on one of the most beautiful beaches of the world: Dueodde on Bornholm. Within the next couple of hours, I will be walking 14 km from Dueodde to Arsdale on the Kyststi, the coastal trail around the island.
Recently I have been experimenting with mindfulness techniques other than journaling: meditation and mindful walking.
Very early on during my 6-month unpaid leave – in weeks 2 and 3 in fact – I walked on a long-distance trail called the Via Francigena that runs all the way from Canterbury, UK to Rome, Italy. I had learned about this trail several years back when I was sitting on a plane on a business trip. Back then the only mindful moment in my life was reading through those self-care magazines I used to buy at the airport before boarding.
