  • The dreaded doom-scroll

    The dreaded doom-scroll

    Why do I doom scroll?!

    I’ve got to admit… sometimes I can’t stop doom scrolling. The other day I was like ‘Why is my wrist feeling so sore?’

    Yeah, holding my phone too long flipping through a sea of yuck had tension building through my hand, wrist, forearm, shoulder, neck, etc.

    I had to take a breather and get some movement!

    Thankfully, COGGS volunteers have been doing their best to keep our trails in as good of condition as could be hoped for. Getting bounced along over the icy terrain may have also been rough on my wrists, arms, shoulders, and neck, but I feel a lot better afterwards!

    I may need to get on the schedule this week to loosen up some of these tight muscles though!

    If you are having trouble with your mental health and emotional processing, Sara Sheppard is amazing at helping us through it.

  • Nature walks

    Nature walks

    Who has been enjoying nature walks this fall? It is such a treat to witness the the change in colors, smells, and feeling in the air.

    While we do our best to get out and enjoy the many hiking and biking trails as often as we can, I can’t help but notice that sometimes it’s a challenge to make the time and effort to get out for a more “proper” hike or bike ride. Sunny (our pup) reminds us to walk several times every day, but often they are shorter than she or us would like.

    One of my commuity-building and social well-being activities I have not been able to regularly attend this past year or so is volunteer trail maintenance with COGGS.  I’ve been feeling a little guilty about that! So let me thank everyone who has been putting in the time doing trail building and maintenance this year!
