Libby Delana Quotes

No matter where or how you go, there you are:

Small rituals can be a joyous way to kickstart the day and at the same time provide powerful comfort. A walk, a cup of tea, breath work, making the bed, morning pages. I knew a daily ritual had the potential to be a tool to engage my mind, a way to clear the trash out of my head, a daily dose of beauty and physical satisfaction, an ongoing source of humility and a generous wellspring of contentment in the certainty of it; but I didn’t realise until years into this practice how essential it would become.

The author of Do Walk, Libby DeLana, who has since become a friend, writes, “Go gently, slow down, look up, and humbly learn.” Her words often come to mind as I walk further into my healing and closer to myself. When I can’t process my thoughts on paper, I walk, and I encourage my mind to go where it feels good. When we welcome a sense of ease in our lives, it takes the pressure off trying to solve our problems right away.
