Hi,
I'm Rachel,
And I'm a Stoke coach based in beautiful Park City,
Utah.
I guide people to find more joy,
Awe,
And presence through movement,
Mindfulness,
And connecting with nature.
This is the first of a Wonder Walks series that are like little rituals.
A way to shift your energy,
Reset your mind,
And step into a deeper sense of aliveness.
They aren't about speed or distance,
They're about noticing,
Smiling,
And opening yourself to serendipity.
Here are a few invitations to carry with you as you walk.
Stay open to wonder,
The small details,
The quiet magic.
Let a smile play in your lips,
Even if only for yourself.
Be curious about what's around you,
As if you're seeing it for the first time.
Notice if any synchronicities appear.
A bird,
A phrase,
A glimmer of light.
You'll hear me guide you along the way,
But there will always be pauses.
Moments of quiet to let you settle into your own rhythm.
Don't worry,
I'm still here.
Think of me as walking right beside you,
Giving you space to explore.
So let's begin together.
As you start moving,
Let your pace be easy and natural.
Feel the steady ground beneath your feet.
Notice the air against your skin,
Perhaps it's crisp,
Cool,
Or fresh.
With each step,
Imagine yourself waking up,
Not just to the day,
But to life itself.
Let's take three deep breaths together.
Inhale,
Filling your lungs.
And exhale,
Letting go.
Inhale.
Exhale.
One more fuller breath in.
And a long,
Slow breath out.
This walk is an invitation to begin your day with awe.
Take a moment to ask yourself,
What's my why today?
Maybe it's joy.
Maybe it's clarity.
Maybe it's beauty.
Maybe it's simply to notice beauty around you.
Whatever rises,
Let it be your quiet compass for this walk.
You don't need to force it.
Even,
I want to feel more alive,
Is enough.
Now as you continue to move,
Let your eyes soften.
Notice the way the morning light touches the world around you.
Is it rising golden,
Casting long shadows?
Or perhaps it's muted,
Filtered through clouds.
See how the light shifts with each step.
Notice sounds,
Birdsong,
Distant voices,
The hum of life awakening.
Let the soundscape wash over you.
Feel your own energy rising with the day.
Each step is a gentle awakening.
Feet steady,
Legs strong,
Breath smooth.
Now,
Look closer.
Is there a tree nearby?
Notice its leaves,
Its branches,
Stretching toward the sky.
If you pass a flower,
A patch of grass,
Or even a crack in the pavement with something growing,
Pause for a moment of wonder.
This small miracle is here,
Just for you,
Right now.
I invite you to let your curiosity guide you.
Turn down a street you haven't walked before.
Or,
If your route is set,
Notice one detail you've never really seen.
A color on a building,
A texture of bark,
The way light plays on a window.
As you continue to walk,
See if there's one small object you can take with you.
A leaf,
A pebble,
A feather.
Let it become your morning talisman.
A reminder that you began your day with presence.
As we come toward the end of this wonder walk,
Bring your attention back to your breath.
Inhale deeply.
And exhale slowly.
Feel gratitude for this time you've given yourself.
For the simple act of beginning your day with wonder.
Carry this energy forward,
Knowing you can return to it any time.
Take a final,
Slow breath in.
And let it out.
Thank you for walking with me today.
Remember,
Every step can be a spark.
A spark of joy,
A spark of wonder,
A spark of creativity,
Excitement,
Or connection.
Carry that spark with you into the rest of your day.
