6. Bonus: Relax and Destress in the Forest with Me

Ever find yourself startled by the sudden rustle of a squirrel or soothed by the melodic chirping of birds? I certainly did, amidst the gentle embrace of the woods, where I paused to let nature's symphony wash over me. Today's journey is not just a walk through the forest, but an invitation to explore the peaceful immersion that awaits when we step away from our bustling lives. Join me as we share in the simplicity of a turtle's breakfast and the quiet contemplation on a sturdy log, all while discovering the profound impact these moments can have on our well-being.

This episode is a heartfelt ode to the solace found in the natural world, a reminder that serenity lies just beyond our front doors. As your host, I'm not just narrating my experiences; I'm inviting you to share in this sensory escape. Feel the breeze, soak up the sun's warmth, and remember that we are an integral part of a grander tapestry. It's a chance to reconnect, to breathe deeply, and to carry with you a piece of the tranquility that often eludes us. May your day be as beautifully blessed as the one I'm about to describe.

This is going to be just a quick little episode that I want to share, because I am on vacation, just be and to think and reflect, and sometimes not think and just wander. And I have been walking through the woods this morning and listening to the birds and and had a squirrel scare me, had a little turtle that was, I believe, eating a frog for breakfast and just looking at all of the different you know, all the different plants and hearing all of the different birds. And I know that it's so easy to get so caught up in all of the day-to-day things that we can forget to really just be and and see all the things that are going on around us in a peaceful kind of setting, not in chaos, but taking time just to get outside for a while. And I know that for me that's something that is very important to do for my mental health, for my peace of mind, and yet I don't always do it. I don't do it enough to keep myself feeling the way that I want to feel, and so I just want you to be able to hear this with me for a couple of minutes.

And you know I stopped and I'm sitting here on a log and you know, maybe just just pause and and take it in. Thank you, and I hope that you'll come back to this and that you'll share it with others who might need just a little bit of a break in the midst of a busy life, on my lunch break or while I'm driving and rushing from one thing to another, and feel the breeze as it gently blows and see the sunshine and just smell the freshness and remember that we're part of something so much bigger than we are, but yet we're such a vital part. Have a beautifully blessed day.
