A Walk around Scout Lake

Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable space where you can relax without any distractions. Sit or lie down in a position that allows you to be at ease. Take a moment to settle into your body and close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with fresh air, and slowly exhale, releasing any tension or stress. Allow your body to relax and your mind to calm.

Now, imagine yourself standing at the entrance of Scout Lake, a picturesque 64-acre oasis nestled in Greendale, WI. Visualize the surroundings as vividly as possible. Picture the serene lake, its calm waters reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Notice the fishing pier extending into the lake, inviting you to spend some time casting a line or simply enjoying the peacefulness of the water.

As you step onto the trail, feel the solid ground beneath your feet. The well-maintained walking path, clocking in at a half-mile loop, guides you around the lake. The path is lined with majestic trees, providing shade and creating a tranquil atmosphere as you stroll along.

Listen to the symphony of nature around you. Hear the melodic songs of various birds perched on the branches above, and watch as waterfowl gracefully glide across the surface of the lake. This is truly a haven for birdwatching enthusiasts.

As you continue walking, feel the changing seasons come alive. Picture vibrant spring blossoms and the fresh scent of new growth. Imagine the lush greenery of summer, with leaves rustling in the warm breeze. Visualize the breathtaking colors of autumn as the trees transform into a tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows. And see the glistening beauty of a winter wonderland, with snow-covered trees and the stillness of the frozen lake.

Along the path, you may encounter the tot lot/play area, a space filled with laughter and joy. Take a moment to appreciate the happiness and innocence that fills the air as children explore and play.

As your walk nears its end, take a moment to express gratitude for this experience and the time you've spent in this natural oasis. Feel a sense of rejuvenation and peace within your being.

Now, slowly bring your awareness back to the present moment. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you're ready, open your eyes.

Take a few deep breaths, carrying the tranquility and serenity of Scout Lake with you. Carry this feeling throughout your day, allowing it to bring you peace, connection with nature, and a sense of appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

I hope you like this guided imagery and sleep well.
