peace of mind

escaping is not always a bad thing
unfortunately in this day and age, we have forgotten the benefits of taking walks among nature.
it is such a highly effective way to calm your mind and to help you to think.
we are all so used to the hustle and bustle of everyday life that we forget that it's important to take the time to think. we run through lists of what errands we must carry out, what personal achievements we long to succeed in, what hopes & dreams we one day wish will come true. planning ahead in the hope of making it just a little easier on ourselves in the future.
it's natural for us to worry. some of us worse than others. it is after all one of my adverse flaws to overthink things and worry for the future. it is only until recently where i've learnt to let things go and attempt to live in the present.
a simple skill such as mindfulness meditation can help to overcome or help to comply with stress. easing the mind through breathing, distracting the mind with something more so happy.
i always feel cheerful with reading in the park, it puts my mind at rest with a pleasant distraction or even merely listening to music while gazing up at the soaring birds in the high sky.
i spent my evening yesterday lying out in the park in the blazing sunshine, listening to 'first aid kit' while just feeling content with watching the birds and planes, taking deep breaths, feeling less claustrophobic to the wide, open sky, as well as making a list of things that i am fortunate to have...
- friends that are there for me
- a family that healthy
- my own bedroom to sleep in
- a boyfriend that loves me even when i'm at my worst
- even naturally the air in my lungs, my two functional legs to walk with, my senses to explore what's around me... knowing that not everyone in the world is lucky enough in having their health makes me feel grateful with the sound body and mind that i do possess.
be strong to allow only for the positive thoughts to enter the sub-conscious mind, that way it will help you to gain peace of mind.
much love,
