Are You A Nature Lover

Tweet

I love nature. I love to walk in the woods and enjoy the scent of the great outdoors. I love to sit on the porch, smell the flowers,watch the bird and wildlife in my yard while listening to the river softly flow on by. I just love everthing about this wonderful world that Heavenly Father has made for me to enjoy. I am very fortunate to live in the country where I can enjoy these things on a regular basis. I have found that connecting with nature helps to relive stress for me. No matter where you live, you can enjoy nature. 1. You can sit near a window and watch the birds or a tree sway in the breeze. Sit and just imagine yourself at your favorite nature spot. 2. Get comfortable, take some deep breaths and connect with the part of nature that you can see or hear. 3. Imagine your feet touching the earth with the sand,water, mud, clay or whatever you enjoy. I love to sit on a rock and dangle my feet in the river or walk in a clay ditch. I just love the feel on my feet. I remember walking in the meadow behind our home, as a child, and picking violets while eating wild strawberries. I can still remember the scent. This is just a few things that will help you destress. I know that it sounds weird but it works. I have taken biofeedback and the lady who taught me how to do it was so amazed that I was able to bring my blood pressure down so quickly. She ask if she could use my imageary with her other clients. She later told me that many people benefited from my imagery. I used nature, the things that I wrote above. I also used horseback riding on a mountain top with the wind blowing in my hair. I hope some of these help you to destress and keep stress from taking over your life. You have the ability to control how you deal with stress.These methods help me, they may not work with you.
