Series 56 journal prompts

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 13:39:39 +0100

Welcome to the start of our new podcast series, Series 56, centered around the thought-provoking theme of 'Enough!' As we look forward to the new series, I wanted to provide you with your first set of journal prompts, offering you a dedicated space for reflection, maybe even self-discovery. Consider this your invitation to carve out a little time just for you. Perhaps brew a comforting drink, open your favorite notebook to a fresh page, sharpen your pencil, and allow yourself 20 minutes of uninterrupted writing in response to the prompts below. Remember, there's no need for perfection – these are simply for your own personal exploration. Sometimes, the act of pondering can lead to unexpected insights, perhaps a solution to a nagging problem or a catalyst for positive change in your life. It might not surface immediately; an 'aha!' moment could just as easily arrive while you're doing the dishes, 36 hours from now! Please find below your first set of prompts on the theme of 'Enough!', dear friends. This is just the beginning: Prompt 1 Think of a time when you felt you had just about enough of something – be it a frustrating situation, a demanding task, or even a strong emotion. What did this experience feel like for you? Did you notice any specific emotional responses or physical sensations? Describe these if you can. Prompt 2 Take a moment or two to consider why this particular instance of feeling 'just about enough' has come to mind today. What makes this specific memory stand out to you at this moment? Prompt 3 Reflecting on this past experience, what unfolded next? Did you initiate a change? Did you reach out for support? Perhaps the action you took brought resolution, or maybe you made a conscious decision to approach things differently in the future. Do you recall how your initial feelings evolved over time? Prompt 4 Jot down a few thoughts on how this past experience might connect with the way you make choices in your life today. There is no need to share what you've written. However, if you feel moved to share your reflections, or if you're inspired to record a voice note for the upcoming podcast episodes (beginning on Monday), I would be delighted to hear from you. Reply to this email to leave a comment, or head over to SpeakPipe to leave 90 seconds of your beautiful voice for Walk the Pod: https://www.speakpipe.com/Walk_the_Pod Wishing you a lovely Friday, dear friends. I can't wait to get started with this new series of episodes with you from Monday.

WtP S24E9 | Calm before the storm

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 12:00:00 +0000

A big storm is forecast in the UK tomorrow and so I’m enjoying some calmer weather today.

Walk the Pod is your daily walking podcast

Each series includes 15 daily walking episodes, in which I walk a local footpath in Wimbledon, SW19. I pay attention to what I can see directly in front of me, and think about how to be in the world.

WtP S24E8 | Cats up a tree

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 12:44:00 +0000

Two cats up a tree on the cycle path this afternoon.

Stoics on the Cycle Path

Seneca today from a letter entitled 'The Healing Power of the Mind':

“To one who roams through the universe, the truth can never fail to surprise. It will be the untruths that will disgust him. And on the other hand, if death comes near, even though it be untimely in its arrival, though it cut one off in one's prime, a man has had a taste of all that the longest life can give. Such a man has, to great measure, come to understand the universe. He knows that honourable things do not depend on time for their growth. But any life must seem short to those who measure it's length by pleasures which are empty and have no limit.

Refresh yourself with such thoughts as these, and meanwhile, reserve some hours for our letters. There will be a time when we are united again and brought together. No matter how short this time may be, we will make it long, by knowing how best to use it. Because, as Posedonius says, a single day among the educated lasts longer than the longest life of the ignorant. Meanwhile, keep this thought, and grip it close. Do not yield to adversity, do not trust prosperity. Keep before your eyes the full scope of fortunes power, as it if would surely do whatever is in its power to do. That which has been long expected comes more gently.”

WtP S24E6 | Stoics on the psychopath

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 09:52:00 +0000

Stoics on the psychopath is how my transcription software translates ‘Stoics on the Cycle Path’ much to my amusement. Must not call it that forevermore.

Stoics on the Cycle Path

Marcus Aurelius provides today’s wisdom: “How good it is when you have roast meat or suchlike foods before you, to impress on your mind that this is the dead body of a fish, this is the dead body of a bird or pig; and again, that the Falernian wine is the mere juice of grapes, and your purple edged robe simply the hair of a sheep soaked in shell-fish blood! And in sexual intercourse that it is no more than the friction of a membrane and a spurt of mucus ejected. How good these perceptions are at getting to the heart of the real thing and penetrating through it, so you can see it for what it is! This should be your practice throughout all your life: when things have such a plausible appearance, show them naked, see their shoddiness, strip away their own boastful account of themselves. Vanity is the greatest seducer of reason: when you are most convinced that your work is important, that is when you are most under its spell.”

WtP S24E5 | Figuring out what we want

Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:20:00 +0000

Adam Philips provides our Stoics on the Cycle Path reading today:

“Every adult remembers, among many other things, the great ennui of childhood, and every child’s life is punctuated by spells of boredom … Boredom is actually a precarious process in which the child is, as it were, both waiting for something and looking for something, in which hope is being secretly negotiated, and in this sense boredom is akin to free-floating attention. In the muffled, sometimes irritable confusion of boredom the child is reaching to a recurrent sense of emptiness out of which his real desire can crystallize … The capacity to be bored can be a developmental achievement for the child.”

WtP S24E2 | Do not fuss

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 14:34:00 +0000

Stoics on the Cycle Path comes from Marcus Aurelius today, Meditations book 6 number 27.

“How cruel it is not to allow a man to strive after the things which appear to them to be suitable to their nature and profitable! And yet in a manner thou dost not allow them to do this, when thou art vexed because they do wrong. For they are certainly moved towards things because they suppose them to be suitable to their nature and profitable to them - But it is not so - Teach them, then, and show them. Do not fuss.”

WtP S24E1 | Happiness is not a goal

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 13:25:00 +0000

Hello and welcome to Series 24! Today I’m delighted to be back on the bike track with a brand new feature: 'Stoics on the Cycle Path', brought to you today by Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, on friendship.

“I would encourage you to discuss everything with a friend, but first of all, discuss the person themselves. When friendship has just begun, you must trust before friendship is formed, you must pass judgement. Most people pass the judgement after the friendship is formed, violating the rules instead of making him their friend after they have judged him. Contemplate for a long time, whether you shall grant a person your friendship, but when you have decided to allow it, welcome him or her with all your heart and soul.”

WtP S19E2 | The most beautiful walk in the world ☀️

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 13:35:00 +0100

Welcome to Episode 2, Series 19 of the Walk the Pod daily walking podcast, in which I walk the cycle path in the opposite direction as usual, because I have moved house to the other end.

In this episode

It's a beautiful blue sky day today, people are walking around in straw hats and jogging happily along.

Join me on this glorious day, enjoying the green all around me and appreciating the last flailing weeks of summer. I'm about to descend into more and more layers until I'm rolling down the road in a gigantic sheepskin coat, but right now it's just beautiful.

The kids went back to school this week, the parents hit the golf clubs and it's lovely to see the kids dashing around in the Wimbledon Chase Primary School playground. Freddy started secondary school this week and is walking himself to school. I share the Mothership's recollections of walking herself to school when she was 5 years old.

Remembering the Chris Evans Radio 1 breakfast show from the '90s as I've been reminiscing with the Breaking Breakfast podcast. Particularly impressed with the Ginger Grand Prix.

I discuss grasping the infinite with the finite, something ChristoffLambyPie was particularly good at.

I walk under a beautiful grapevine, past six sunflowers towards the Kingston Road end of the bike track and see a dragonfly fluttering over the cycle path.

What is Walk the Pod?

Walk the Pod is a daily podcast show where I take my podcast for walks because I don’t have a dog. Take 10 minutes out of your day to walk in nature, and to pay attention to what’s directly in front of you.

Series 19 of Walk the Pod

I've been making daily episodes of Walk the Pod since November 3rd 2020. This is the second of 15 episodes in Series 19. I've picked some music for this series. Here's the playlist 🎧

WtP S19E1 | New walking series 🌞

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 12:52:00 +0100

I’m Rachel Wheeley, a human in the world.

In this episode I walk around a park behind St George's University hospital in SW17, Tooting, South West London in the UK. I reflect on how lovely it is to be back at work, talking to real, live, 3D humans now that everyone's back in the office. Memories of my recent holiday with the kids in the New Forest, climbing giant trees, playing with wild horses and making s'mores in the fire pit, and how much I love my new flat.

Ramblechatting about how difficult it is to have fun, and how I'm not the fun friend, so much as the one who will make you a cup of tea when you've been enjoying yourself too much.

Shout out to my Dad who is recording me a philosophy podcast via WhatsApp, and how my favourite philosophers are long dead (Marcus Aurelius) and very much alive (Heather Havrilesky) and how my reading is very different from my Dad's.

I've been thinking a lot lately about the things I admire the most about everyone I know, whilst trying not to take on other peoples' goals.
