How often to you take a nature break to replenish yourself?
I’m getting better…
I still spend too much time working, glued to my laptop for hours, wanting to “get this one last thing done!”
Then there’s another thing.
And another.
So, when I can tear myself away – which is much more often these days – I am making more time to read, meditate, and have more fun with great people. (More on that in a future Friday message😉)
And one of the most important things that I’ve been suggesting to clients for years (and don’t always do myself) - spend more time outside.😎
Nature is so healing.
It restores balance, demonstrates life, growth, and the inevitability of death and rebirth.
It doesn’t require anything but appreciation for what it is.
Wayne Dyer often quoted Hafiz – “Even After All this time The Sun never says to the Earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.”
That’s powerful.
The other day I heard someone suggest touching a tree or sitting near trees to meditate.
I have a lemon and an orange tree in my yard near each other, so although it was 104 degrees, I took my zero-gravity chair and sat between them.
Thank goodness they provided so much shade🥵
As I sat there appreciating the beauty around me, I noticed a little friend sitting on a branch above me.🐿️
I couldn’t really see well through my phone, but I wanted a photo of this special moment.
Although a branch is over his eyes, this little guy was staring right at me.
When I got too hot, I noticed how amazing the blazing sun looked so I got a photo of that too.
I was grateful to be back inside, still in so much appreciation and awe of the beauty that I just experienced.
How often do you take a nature break?
Do you notice all the beauty and life around you?
It’s always there for us to enjoy, all you have to do is step outside.
Even if you live in an busy area, the sky, clouds, sun, birds and breezes are always available to you.
Make a point of enjoying a nature break this weekend and notice how it nurtures you.
Then do it again…often.
Enjoy your weekend🌟
