Fishing!

Yes, I said it, I know I know, some of ya’ll hate to fish But there is something so primal about catching your food (we do catch & release) But sometimes getting your hands dirty and pushing yourself to do something different is good for growth and self esteem. It’s a quiet yet mind focusing task, watching the tip of the pole….watching your bobber go under knowing it’s go time. Give it a try and hey if it’s big enough and legal in your area take it home and make your family a meal you caught yourself.

Grounding

I cannot tell you enough about the benefits of merely going outside, taking off your shoes and socks and just simply standing in the grass, the earth has a vibration and so do YOU! If you just breathe in and out, close your eyes….you will be surprised how “lighter” you feel. If feeling adventurous lay down and look up at the sky and trees. Just listen to the natural surroundings. Those are the sounds that bring you back to center. Not all the electronics in the house. Give your nervous system and spirit a break and go grounding and heck while your at it hug a tree! We aren’t meant to constantly have something under us or on our feet, a shoe, a sock, a house, concrete. The earth has a vibration and we cannot truly connect to it unless we make direct contact with it. YOU also have a vibration and if your feeling low go outside into the grass ( socks and shoes off) and just stand there, or lay, and close your eyes and just breathe, in and out. Close your eyes and listen to the birds, or planes above. Let your other senses awaken for a bit. I recommend doing this as much as you can.

Lets roll !

Either its for your family and you or a time for you to re connect with your spouse, or even just time away from the world by yourself, these sites offer a variety of ideas for short to long stays. You can even find places that are accessible and allow dogs. From Yurts, to homes with private pools. If you’re on a budget try finding places that are guest houses, that way you save money but can still take advantage of the amenities. Airbnb.com or VRBO.com

Run Forest run! ( or walk lol)

We all know the benefits of walking and running, lose weight, tone up yada yada. BUT! Just walking outside for 20 minutes per day will awaken your senses. Help to remove mental blockages. Help you connect with nature. Boost serotonin levels and boost overall mood. This is Free99 !!!
