Are you feeling
stressed, anxious, irritable, depressed, lonely, tired, confused, lacking
confidence or mentally or physically fatigued? Wouldn’t that be something if
during your next doctor’s visit you were given a prescription for “a dose of
nature.” Well don’t wait for your symptoms to get worse, you can fill that prescription
all on your own, it’s free and you don’t need a PhD! Lace up your shoes,
call a friend or head out alone and submerge yourself in nature. Nature is the
ideal setting to work through life’s issues. Hitting the trail works out not
only your body but your brain. It helps to clear the mind and perks up your
creativity. It’s a great way to connect with yourself and others. You will feel
revitalized more energetic and it will bring you feelings of peace and a sense
of well-being. So get out there and feel the dirt under your feet, the sun
shining overhead, and soak in nature’s healing powers. A word of caution, nature can become addicting!
"In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks." - John Muir
Nature heals.
Just the other day I was asking myself "What is my True North." Meaning, what can I come home to when I am feeling stressed out, confused, lonely, anxiety...all those ugly feelings we want to avoid. My answer was Mother Nature. When I have feelings that are less than desirable I go out into nature, onto dirt, and either find comfort or find answers. Thanks for the post!
