Thank you for this lovely reminder, Dana! This post spoke to me in many ways. I'm currently looking for a life closer to nature again and trying different things to reconnect. I've missed being rooted in nature like I was in my youth. I noticed that not everything felt good, though, that some experiences made me rather uncomfortable than calm, and that I may have to find a different approach or go more slowly and gently. And that's okay. I so agree on the natural sounds and smells. Focussing on them have helped me a lot in recent years. I also love the reminder that rest is an essential part of growth. That's again something I've experienced and it's a good thing to remember when one tries just too hard to change (something).
Thank you for sharing this, Claudia. It’s wonderful that you’re exploring what feels right and allowing yourself to take things at your own pace. Natural sounds and smells can be so grounding, and it’s lovely to hear they’ve been helpful for you. Rest really is such an important part of growth—a great reminder to let change unfold gently ❤️
