Where’s your go-to spot?

My physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies were all depleted.  I was growing increasingly frustrated and irritable. I’d been sitting at the computer without progress for way too long. Can you relate?

I had to get out.

So I hopped on my bike and went to my new go-to-spot:  Fort Amherst.

After 30 minutes of healthy peddling along safe and scenic roads, I can be sitting on a cliff staring out at the open ocean. Instant soothing – just add water.

I’ve only been there a few times so far, but it’s become my new go-to-spot. Both the getting there and being there fulfill my needs.

I recognize a pattern. When I was living in a German village at the age of 5, I used to bike to a nearby duck pond to sit and connect. Later in Ottawa, I’d bike to Hogg’s Back Falls to nourish my soul. Now I can bike to the ocean.

Where’s your go-to spot? Please comment below. I’d love to know what easily accessible surroundings call you when your body, mind, and spirit need a quick boost.
