What heals you? Ask yourself this and be sure
to apply it in your life when you know you need it. Some examples of a
healing escape may be nature, hiking, fishing, music, exercise, meditation,
watching your favorite movie or show, being with friends or family, drinking a
warm cup of tea and reading, writing, art, working on projects, cleaning…
It is important to reach for healthy outlets
and caution yourself when it comes to things like drinking. Many like to reach
for a drink when they are stressed, had a long day, had a bad day, etc. to calm
them down when it only masks the issue like a bandaid. The issue can actually
become enhanced when intoxicated making you feel even worse, which in turn will
want you to keep drinking.
The great thing about nature being a healing
tool is that it is…well, natural. It provides no bad side effects, it only
speaks calmly to us, it always supports us and is there for us, and it does not
judge. Not only that, it is the best demonstration of how things go on despite
turbulence. Plants keep growing, birds keep chirping, the oceans keep rolling,
the sun keeps shining, the earth keeps moving and shifting, the world keeps
spinning. In reality we have to keep in mind that we are a small spec in the
grand scheme of life. Being in nature will remind us this. We are a part of it
all. Each and every person, animal, plant, rock, and molecule is interrelated
and feed off of each other.
Life is one big chemical reaction, so to
speak. YOU help the cataclysmic event that is life. What you put into it is
what will be received and reciprocated everywhere else. Pay attention to how
one’s energy can affect another’s energy. It is extremely powerful and can
easily be underestimated.
It may be hard at first to quiet the mind and
just listen to nature’s voice and message, but you will eventually realize that
it is on your side and only good will come out of just letting go
and giving in to nature. Soon your thoughts will dissipate and waves of
bliss will wash over you. It’s as if the universe just removed your worries for
you.
Do what you need to do to take care of yourself
in a healthy manner. Don’t just shrug things off or let it build up. Find
a source of healing that will be your go-to when you need a pick-me-up.
Have a couple of plans to allow yourself to escape and always let loved ones
know you need a little bit of time for yourself to regenerate. They will
understand.
