This post explores the following areas of wellbeing:

  • The impact of digital technology
  • Practices, habits, and routines
  • What wellbeing means to you

To take care of myself, I make it a priority to go on walks and immerse myself in nature. Spending time in different outdoor environments, particularly those that are serene and quiet, has a profound effect on my mental well-being. It helps clear my mind, especially when I'm feeling overwhelmed or in a negative state of mind. I think it’s also important to step away from our devices such as laptops, phones, tv’s, etc. When we disconnect from technology, it allows us to have a break from the overstimulation that they often bring.
An example I would use is if I am stressed from work, instead of FaceTiming or calling my friend to chat, I think I would feel better or benefit more from going on a walk with my friend and catching up. Real life connectivity is much better than digital.

It’s always important to remember to take care of yourself and prioritize your well being. Stress and negativity is only temporary. ☺️

Love this! Being out in nature really does help reset the mind and bring clarity. Real-life connections over digital ones make such a difference too, nothing beats a good walk and a deep conversation. Great reminder to slow down and take care of ourselves!

Thank you for your post! I always found it interesting how nature has these healing qualities. Even if we can't prove that nature can cure all diseases or illnesses, however it definitely has a way of clearing and calming your mind, and grounding you once again.
