One way to take care of ourselves is to find the time to just get away from the business of life, and escape on a quiet walk out in nature where you can observe a grounded ecosystem that just exuberates peacefulness and introspection.
I had a surreal feel-good moment today, where I simply took a walk with my friend out in a natural area close to her house. If you were there you would smell the honey from the flowers around, so much so, you could almost taste it. The sun's rays penetrated its warmth through the tall trees, creating a sea, of beautiful shades of green. At one point, I stopped to sit and just listen to the leaves move against the trees from the slight breeze I felt moving across my skin. I heard the birds chirping their different calls, and even observed a worm tenaciously scooch its body across the dirt path. We were hiking on a slope ridden trail for about an hour, yet it was so mesmerizing and intriguing the sights around me, I didn't even know where the time flew.
Moments like these help us realize how much we overwork and just busy ourselves with every day life. It serves as a good reminder of the importance to just be still in the moment, allowing the stillness to just fill our senses with an overwhelming feeling of peace, love, and gratitude. Permitting our mind to just free itself from the many thoughts, questions, worries, and plans that subconsciously run around. A form of mental health that enables our mind to quiet down, soak in the good and feel renewed again.
What do nature walks remind you of?
