I came outside this morning to do some journaling and drink my coffee.
And where I live,
It is hot probably 90% of the year.
But this morning,
I don't know if you can hear,
The birds are just so alive and singing and it's only 80 degrees and there's a breeze and my wind chimes are dinging in the background here and there.
And I cannot get myself to go back inside.
I do have things I planned to do today,
Which is not unusual.
And not doing them is also not unusual,
But this is too beautiful.
I think it's a type of hyper fixation with the ADHD,
But it's just,
Listen.
Peace and quiet and birds and breeze.
And it's so rare that I just want to sit and enjoy it and let my body and brain soak it in.
I hope you can hear that.
I hope you find a time today where you can find peace.
And calm and have a nice breeze and hear some birds welcome you to the day.
If you can't get outside then please try to take a moment of being still Taking a few deep breaths.
Relaxing your body.
And then you can move forward again.
But I promise,
If you can just find a moment to step outside,
Just the change in atmosphere from being indoors to outdoors does something with our parasympathetic hormonal release system and all those fancy things.
I'm not a doctor,
Nor do I play one on TV,
But I know that it affects our body and our minds.
So don't forget,
Nature's our friend.
