Beauty Lies In Simplicity
They say the best things in life are free and you know what, I reckon they are.
Quite frankly, twenty-first century living is mind-blowing; it’s fast, it’s busy and it’s pretty damn stressful at times. We live in a society where we seem to be unknowingly conditioned to put pressure on ourselves.
Nature's Medicine
The answer for me has always been to walk out the door and let nature’s unassuming medicine heal the tensions. Many a problem can be reduced or solved from this simple act.
Switch off the persistent, anxious voice in your head and realise that birdsong plays a much prettier sound when you allow yourself to tune into it
Devote a couple of minutes to staying still and take it all in; sights, smells, sounds. It is amazing to see what you’ve missed when you haven’t been paying attention
Learn the body language of animals; they will tell you more than you realise if you just take the time to notice
Appreciate the seasons and their significance; from mud fields to green shoots to six-foot tall jungles of maize. Regular journeys across the year will shine a light on the beauty of life
And Breathe . . .
Nature and time are great healers.
Neither costs anything.
Both wait patiently.
