My Surrender Experiment: 30 Blogs in 30(ish) Days

What is My Mountain?

This is the question that beckoned my attention while I was climbing an actual mountain. Early on the morning of June 30, I woke with the clear knowing that I needed to go on a hike, and not just any hike, one that would challenge me. I followed this urge and headed to Mount Garfield. I had no idea that this hike—this climb—would lead me to write 30 blogs in 30-ish days. After I climbed the mountain, I knew I needed my own challenge. After I returned from my climb, I walked the labyrinth at Six Eagles Haven and asked the question, “What IS my mountain?”

Praise & Celebrate Where You Are

August 21, 2020/ Robin Finney

How often do you stop to celebrate the big and small victories in life? Or better yet, how often do you celebrate your journey and where you are now?

It’s easy to celebrate life when things are going well and you’ve achieved something you’ve been working towards or you’ve reached a milestone such as a birthday or an anniversary.

What about the ordinary moments in life?

Expiring in 3-2-1

May 11, 2018/ Robin Finney

On April 24, I packed up my apartment, sold my furniture and turned in my keys. Although it was temporary and knew my time would be expiring there, I embraced every moment of it. It was just the break in my cycle that I needed. And now here I am just 3 weeks later, sitting in a cafe in Thailand. It's a bit surreal. I find myself both in awe and in a trance; like at any moment I'm going to wake up and learn it was all a dream. I just pinched myself...so I know it's actually happening.

Journey to My Edge

February 16, 2018/ Robin Finney

I pushed myself to the max during Yoga Teaching Training. My body, mind and soul transformed. I found both strength and heartache throughout the journey as we dug deeper and deeper into the meaning and philosophy of yoga. I shed many tears on and off my mat as I cracked open my heart and discovered so many truths (both hard and profound) about myself. And it only made me stronger. Suffice to say, I am not the same person that I was when starting this journey.

I See You, Doubt

October 24, 2017/ Robin Finney

Doubt will show up when you're trying something new - we are human after all. And rather than dismissing it completely, ask yourself why doubt is there and listen for the answer. If the answer appears to be more fear-based and inauthentic, then thank it for showing up and ask it to step away. You've got this.

Namaste, A New Journey Begins

October 19, 2017/ Robin Finney

If you had told me at the beginning of the year that I would be doing this, I would not have believed you. Action has propelled me forward in more ways than I thought possible. I am intimidated and excited about this journey. I know it will challenge and push me in ways beyond that I think I'm capable of. I am committed to seeing this through and completing my year of ACTION with a bang.
