The Well-Tended Life

The Well-Tended Life Podcast is all about intentional living, that’s inspired by my great-great-grandmother’s classic book “The Secret Garden”. A Well-Tended Life is not a set it and forget it life, nor is it a perfect life. It is worked on every day, in the sunshine and through the storms. And the truth is, what worked in our life-gardens last season, may not work in the next. That’s why here at The Well-Tended Life Podcast, we interview people who have grown and bloomed true in a variety of seasons and are willing to share their well-tended wisdom and weed-whacking advice with us!This season we are going to talk about: Rest, Fear, Addiction, Busyness, Growth, grief, Friendship, Relationships, Time Management, Self Care, Pivots, Expectations, Wandering, Gratitude, Overcoming, Hard Work, Goals/Intentions, Relationships, Health, Fitness, Change, Secrets, Letting Go, and so much More! So, meet me back here each week and we will dig in together to discover what’s keeping you locked up tighter than The Secret Garden and unearth the tools that will keep you growing and blooming through every season.“Where you tend a rose…a thistle cannot grow.” - The Secret Garden

EPISODE 55 : How To Become An Outside Human with Amy Bushatz

January 10, 2024 • Keri Wilt • Episode 55

Why Listen? In my journal practice, I write down what I call “heart taps”, which are the things that speak directly to my heart. Here are a few of the heart tap moments that I wrote down from this interview:

20 minutes isn’t that long.
There are no rules about what you are doing out there, you just need to take the time to go outside.
Being outside helps you to better manage the unpredictable life inside.
Push through the barriers of discomfort to find the good on the other side.
Use your tools to get through the discomfort: jacket, rain gear, time management, etc.
It’s in pushing past the perceived and many times temporary discomfort that you grow.
You get over the mental discomfort by doing it over and over again.
Going outside actually increases your curiosity.
Reminder: Growth happens over time.
