Week 6:
A Sense of Curiosity
Chasing Curiosity
​
"Chasing curiosity can lead us down a dangerous, challenging, and frightening path. It can also lead us to have the greatest experiences of our lives." - Anonymous
This week's focus is on fostering a sense of curiosity as you run/walk. Our minds love to make judgments and draw conclusions about things, but this can draw our attention away from exploring, observing, and even noticing what is happening right in front of and around us.
The video below is a short segment on cultivating curiosity. Take a few minutes to watch this video and consider how it might inspire your own sense of curiosity.
Weekly Reflection
​
This week, as you run or walk, bring a sense of curiosity with you and apply it to both yourself and the environment around you. Be curious about sensations, events, experiences, both inside and outside of your body. Notice when you want to make an assumption or a judgment and see if you can re-phrase it in the form of a question. What new things caught your attention and what did you discover during your run/walk today?
