Connect with nature throughout the day by taking a walk on the beach or through a park. Smell the flowers. Take off your shoes and go walk outside in the soft green grass. There is just something about being out in nature that is so healing, calming, relaxing, and just wonderful for your soul and your focus.
This past weekend I was able to hang out with some AMAZING women! After our “work” was done we spent the rest of the day just “Enjoying Nature”. We walked the beach. We watched the waves roll in. Some of the women even walked in the water and let the waves come up over their feet. It was simply enjoyable. After we finished up at the beach we went to grab a bite to eat where we could sit out on the deck and just watch the boats come in and out of the pass. Behind the boats between the pass and the Gulf of Mexico, we had the most beautiful of dunes to look out at while we ate our linner. Yes “linner”, that’s what us Southerners call lunch and dinner when we eat them together. Then we went down to the boardwalk and soaked in all it had to offer. Finishing that time sitting in a HUGE beach chair. We were laughing. We were having a blast. We were “One with Nature”!!! Once we finished our “fun time” on the boardwalk we took the long way back to the house. We grabbed some goodies we had made the night before and just enjoyed each others company for about another hour.
Then while talking, the ideas just started flowing!!! We were able to come up with some new ideas, new strategies, new game plans, and new thought processes…
When I say take time to engage in nature…It really is one of the best things you can do for your mind, your spirit, and your soul. Believe me when I say that your future self is gonna thank you for taking the time to do this for yourself. You don’t have to do this at the beach. You could even just take a nature walk. Maybe you have some trails you could go enjoy. How about just hanging out at your local park and enjoying the ducks, birds, turtles, or whatever other wildlife you have in your neck of the woods. Lesia, the only park we have doesn’t have anything except trees, grass, and benches to sit on…Well take off your shoes and socks (or just your shoes if you are wearing slipons) and just walk around in the grass and look up into the trees. Watch as the clouds pass over you and through the sky. Find your inner child and watch for the different shapes in the sky. Maybe grab a picnic blanket and a picnic and go lay out on the grass and see what you can see. Here’s another one…grab a good book you have been wanting to read, place the blanket under the tree by the base of the tree and start reading. Find your inner child. Run through a field of flowers or wheat. Fly a kite on the beach or in the park. Get back outside into nature like you use to do when you were a kid. I am telling you that your future self is so gonna thank you for you adapting this into your lifestyle.
