Sometimes My Boots Feel Heavy

While walking my dog sometimes I notice my hiking boots feel heavy. As I thought about it, I realized some days they feel heavier than others. 

What I realized is my boots feel heavy when my energy is low, and lighter when my energy is high.

The practice I’ve undertaken is to be present as to what or who is affecting my energy level.

It could be I’ve overeaten, or I’ve had a tough conversation or I’ve been working long hours. 

By paying attention to how I feel, I’ve become more conscious as to what I need to take to care of myself during the day.
