@mick_in_nature: Hiking is my therapy now. Solo hiking to be specific because it eliminates noise and distraction. It allows me to move at my own pace, i.e., it’s my one chance each week to be completely and totally selfish 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was a single parent for almost 15 years so most of my adult life, everything revolved around him (as it should) but now that’s he’s grown, it’s my turn. My time. I’m not suggesting that hiking can replace therapy for everyone. I can only say what’s worked best for me. #hikingtherapy #MentalHealthAwareness #solohiking #solohiker #hikertok

Love this so much. Learning to overcome my fears and be a solo hiker. I do love my alone time too!

I agree!! The past two months has been amazing for my health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!! Fear and anxiety being out in the unknown almost turned me away but my husband’s encouragement and helping overcome those fears I will always be grateful for. This makes me emotional in a good way. I suffer with a neurological condition and it has gotten so much better by being out in nature, my wondering mine now is not focusing on the what ifs but more about the beauty around me. I love this post.

One thing I’ve learned…when you don’t feel seen, nature sees you. The sun, the wind and earth all see you

I solo hike all the time. I appreciate the peace, I pick a little bit harder hike each time I go. It’s so fun to see a TikTok, and think I’ve been to the top of that! I conquered it! It’s so good for my self esteem! 🥰

Call me crazy but hiking in the rain is my favorite! 🤣😅

Added bonus of all these things is feeling the change in our confidence to keep trying new trails and areas.

Been going solo since I was 14. So many things I'd add to your list but hope more people walk the path and experience what it can do for you.

4 hits hard. Never sacrifice wisdom and safety, but sometimes it’s as simple as putting one foot in front of the other.
