Clarity On A Windy Walk - June 04

It's a blustery day as Liz helps her nephew by taking his dog out for a walk. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, she notices a flicker of impatience — the day seems to have slipped by without her accomplishing much. But as she reflects, she realises she’s actually having a perfect day. She loves dogs, she loves walking, and the truth is, she’s enjoying herself. That familiar, nagging voice in her head is just telling her she should be at her computer working — but today, she chooses to ignore it.

Thankyou Liz 🙏🏼
I like how you can find something in each walk to relate back to our well being, and Monty is such a happy doggy name.
Playing saxophone for 3 hours sounds such fun. You must have great lungs !
Some days I just want to sit and knit and that makes me feel like I’m not doing enough … but knitting is my calming craft and soothes me.
For me it’s old voices and childhood messages that nag about ‘not doing enough’
I guess I’m having my ‘best life’ sitting by the heater here in Sydney on this chilly winter morning, knitting, cuppa tae and listening to 5 minutes wih Liz.
And the sky hasn’t fallen in 😄

Your thoughts today remind me of a very old song by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters called "Accentuate the Positive". The words of the first verse are:
You've got to ac-cent-tchu-ate the positive
E-lim-i-nate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mr. In-Between

If you know it, I'm sorry, as you'll be singing the melody all afternoon now!

I broke my knee in November and used to walk almost 5 miles a day before . Your 5 minutes in nature have so helped all these months of not being out in nature! Thank you!

I often need to remind myself of the blessings I have, it's so easy to feel sorry for yourself when you've got aches and pains or worries, but yes, when you reflect there are so many little things to be grateful for and everyday things to enjoy instead of taking for granted ✨️ 💖

Absolutely true Liz, i do feel the same when i do not work on my laptop or do some design work and feels i have done nothing today … i think today you gave me a new way to see my day’s productivity. Seeing the joy i felt doing my day to day thing’s and that will be my productivity meter in moments of need. Thanks Liz ❤️💫❤️
