I have been thinking on my May 2015 Camino a lot recently as my 2016 Camino approaches. There are many lessons that I learned from my first Camino.
- To leave my anxieties floating outside of myself as they are just proof that I am pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.
- To not over think and over plan as it feeds those anxieties rather than assuaging them. And it is a grand waste of time!
- To bring only the absolute essentials in order to focus more on the walk than the burden I carry. I was so surprised to find that I needed so little. The rest truly became extra weight and useless.
- To be open to all experiences and people that I will encounter. Challenging or joyful, they are all part of the journey and teach me something about myself.
