Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking

S56E7 Enough!: Enough distractions

Walking in the woods just over the road from home this lunchtime having enough of distractions. Emails, social media updates, news, phone calls, text messages… Distractions are everywhere.

S56E6 Enough! Give yourself a vote

Walking next to the lake at the bottom of the hill from home this lunchtime counting ducklings and thinking about our theme for the month of Enough! On today’s episode, enough centring other peoples opinions and not giving ourselves and our ideas a vote.

S56E5 Enough!: Friday round up

Walking around Tavistock Square Gardens in central London this lunchtime thinking about our series so far and what we’ve learned about Enough! Plus a voice note from Marcel in the Netherlands.

S56E4 Enough!: Enough for today

Walking around the park behind the hospital on the most beautiful day in the world in which everybody appears to have lost their minds - it’s so sunny!

S56E3 Enough!: Doing Enough

Walking the woods of Cannon Hill Common this lunchtime reconnecting with nature and wondering whether happiness lies in deepening the commitments we already have rather than branching out for the new.

S56E2 Enough striving!

Walking around my local streets with a radical prompt for you this afternoon, dear friends: what if by ploughing ahead trying to achieve all the things, we miss out on the serendipitous?

S56E1 Enough! Having Enough

Thinking about how to have enough this lunchtime and an invitation to get involved with a fresh set of journal prompts on our new theme. Walking in the park behind St George’s Hospital, keeping my eyes peeled for the 16 Pets as Therapy dogs that are on a lunchtime walk today.

Series 56 journal prompts

Welcome to the start of our new podcast series, Series 56, centered around the thought-provoking theme of 'Enough!'
As we look forward to the new series, I wanted to provide you with your first set of journal prompts, offering you a dedicated space for reflection, maybe even self-discovery.
Consider this your invitation to carve out a little time just for you. Perhaps brew a comforting drink, open your favorite notebook to a fresh page, sharpen your pencil, and allow yourself 20 minutes of uninterrupted writing in response to the prompts below.
Remember, there's no need for perfection – these are simply for your own personal exploration.
Sometimes, the act of pondering can lead to unexpected insights, perhaps a solution to a nagging problem or a catalyst for positive change in your life. It might not surface immediately; an 'aha!' moment could just as easily arrive while you're doing the dishes, 36 hours from now!
Please find below your first set of prompts on the theme of 'Enough!', dear friends. This is just the beginning:
Prompt 1 Think of a time when you felt you had just about enough of something – be it a frustrating situation, a demanding task, or even a strong emotion. What did this experience feel like for you? Did you notice any specific emotional responses or physical sensations? Describe these if you can.
Prompt 2 Take a moment or two to consider why this particular instance of feeling 'just about enough' has come to mind today. What makes this specific memory stand out to you at this moment?
Prompt 3 Reflecting on this past experience, what unfolded next? Did you initiate a change? Did you reach out for support? Perhaps the action you took brought resolution, or maybe you made a conscious decision to approach things differently in the future. Do you recall how your initial feelings evolved over time?
Prompt 4 Jot down a few thoughts on how this past experience might connect with the way you make choices in your life today.
There is no need to share what you've written. However, if you feel moved to share your reflections, or if you're inspired to record a voice note for the upcoming podcast episodes (beginning on Monday), I would be delighted to hear from you.

Wishing you a lovely Friday, dear friends. I can't wait to get started with this new series of episodes with you from Monday.
