Wrapped up an incredible first month of 2019 with a breathtaking hike in beautiful Marin County yesterday morning. 10 miles, 3 different eco systems, caught up with an amazing friend from high school @classickmar and shared some pretty epic levels of endorphins.

If I could bottle up the way hiking makes me feel and find a way to distribute it for free to those battling mental health issues world wide, I would. Unfortunately, we arenât there yet. I can; however, continue to share my personal experiences and what I do on a regular basis to generate more of those FEEL GOOD vibes, in hopes that it will encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, get up from behind that desk and get moving, outside!

I can personally vouch for how hiking has helped change my entire outlook on life.

Positive mental health, doesnât come as easy for some of us as others. It takes work. It takes repetition. It takes forcing yourself to be open to trying new things and I can promise you, hiking can be one of your secret weapons.
