I found it interesting that you found you were doing more escapism related activities in the evening as opposed to your morning activities. When I thought about it I tend to do the same. I think in my case part of it is that I have much less mental and physical energy at the end of the day. Also once it gets dark out I feel like I move to hibernation mode so my Summer and Winter look vastly different from each other. I find that daily walks are very spiritual for me, especially since they bring me out into nature. I feel more connected with the world when I am walking more often. In general, though, I don't feel like I am a very spiritual person. I think that this chapter would be pretty difficult for me to complete! Wow! I cannot believe that it has bene a year already!
It's so interesting! Even if I have a bit of energy in the evening, I have a hard time finding the motivation. I almost feel like a different person in the morning versus at night. Sadly, I don't see a lot of nature on my walks - but when I walk down to the lake and take some time to meander, I do feel a sense of spirituality and general connectedness. I'm curious to experiment with this a little more (but maybe in the spring when it's consistently warmer!). I definitely experienced some mental gymnastics with this chapter - it's hard to define spirituality and I'm really trying not to overthink it!
