Lessons from walking the Camino and the importance of a healthy support system
  |
| In May 2024, I decided to walk the Camino from Porto in Portugal to Santiago in Spain. It is said that the Camino teaches you very important lessons. Walking for weeks every day through towns, villages, and forests, allows you to be in tune with yourself and nature and enjoy the silence and peace that comes from walking many hours a day. I learned that, like life, you have to have a plan, a destination to reach every day, and a determination to achieve your goal. Here are some other life lessons I learned along the way. As in lifeYou have to be open to change, as the weather, and other conditions, including your endurance level, and that of your walking companion, can change.Everyone is on their own journey and moving at their own pace. Don’t try to keep up with others. Walk at your own pace. Some may appear to be ahead of you but at some point, you may catch up and may even pass them.To offer assistance, a word of advice, a listening ear, when needed, even if it slows you down for a while. If you are willing to ask, help can be found, even from strangers.To trust your partner, even when you are not sure if they are right, but have faith and be willing to forgive if their decision was wrong.To listen to your body, and rest when needed. It’s not about just reaching your destination, but enjoying the journey, pacing yourself, and arriving safe and healthy. Take time to smell the flowers, and enjoy the scenery, and the people on the way, as you may never pass this way again. Live in the moment. Listen, share, and embrace another person’s story without judgment, and realize that no matter what race, country, age, or background someone is from, everyone has a story, and is on a personal journey. You also learn that it’s good to have a support system in place- someone, or someplace you can turn to when you need direction or help. Same as in life. Buen Camino! |
