Hike and Latte Morning

The runsheet

1. 1

   

   Read a few pages while it's quiet

   Reading (mindful)

   Start with something decent to read, a few pages or one considered article while the house is quiet. Kara's own habit is a quick email scan to feel on top of the day; here it keeps that settled feeling without the screen unless you prefer her version.

2. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing reading (mindful) before being in nature

   There's a useful connection here because nature can extend any reflective state from reading into a broader, sensory setting.

   A long hike, latte in hand

   Being in nature

   A large latte for the road, then a hike through Marin County hills with her two dogs. Non-negotiable; she calls it her meditation equivalent. The wilderness clears her mind and gets her body moving before the workday kicks in.

3. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing being in nature before intention setting

   This pairing is especially effective because any clarity from nature can help you set intentions that feel more genuine and grounded.

   Set your intention

   Intention setting

   Before the day's noise starts, pick the one or two things that would make today feel like a win. Kara uses this time to get ahead of priorities rather than react to them.

4. Bearmore’s thoughts on doing intention setting before eating (mindful)

   This can pair well because intention setting may help you slow down and become more deliberate, which suits mindful eating.

   Green smoothie

   Eating (mindful)

   Back home she makes a smoothie with kale, apple, strawberries, and Hint water. Quick nutrition stop before the next phase of the morning.
