Action trumps reaction every time. When you're trying to control your feelings you might as well be trying to herd cats... feelings just happen, and we don't have to let them control us! Next time you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, scared, angry, or any feeling that "feels" uncomfortable, just notice and maybe say to yourself "I notice I'm feeling this way and it's okay because this too shall pass." And then carry on and see what happens! You've got this! 💚

I hope you're able to get outside no matter where you live, but if not, don't worry, that's why I share nature pictures with you every day because nature is so healing and powerful - even if you're only looking at picture research has shown that you still get a positive response! So, if you can, get outdoors and rejoice in the beautiful world we live in and if you can't, don't worry I've got you covered! Have a glorious day, inside or out, my friend.

What if it IS happening for you, not to you? Have you ever considered that possibility? Next time something seems like it's going wrong, take a moment to ask yourself this question and see what happens! I used this question recently when I fell off my bike and had some pretty serious road rash, plus a flat tire, and a 2 mile uphill walk home on a hot day. I just keep repeating to myself: "It's happening for me, not to me." and even though I don't really know why it happened, it helped me stay calm and reminded me that the universe is friendly and I can trust what's going on... even if it includes a long walk with bloody knees! Let me know if you have tried this and what happened FOR you!

Have you ever heard this saying? "Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." It really is like that, right? And, I'm not saying anger can't be a good thing...it can be a motivator and help you get clarity, but there's no reason to hold onto it forever. Thank it for all it's done for you and let it go. The benefits will be huge to you! Everyone has something that makes them mad or has made them mad. Now is the time to let it go. It's not helping you and it's hard to stand tall when anger is weighing you down! Let that stuff go! Release any hurt feelings you have over any family members or close friends. Let it go, trust your intuition, and declare a truce instead, and again, that doesn’t mean you’ll be seeing those people again or maybe you will follow your heart/intuition. If it feels light, it’s right. ​Tap into your natural empathy and compassion for what others are dealing with and allow things to heal for the sake of everyone involved. This is a true opportunity to choose peace over drama and see what shifts in your life. If you need help with this, reach out! The link is in the bio. ​

Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember, a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.” – Lorraine Anderson #mentalhealth #mindfulness #selflove #energy #gooutside #beinnature #stopandsmellstheflowers #mountains #ocean #forest #findyourpeace #takeawalk #sunrisesunset #loveyourself #happiness #hugatree #wildflowers #flowers #wisewomanofthewoods #earthing #connectwithnature #natureiseverything #bewithnature #awalkinthewoods #findyourhappy #getoutdoors #ilovenature #naturewalks #findpeaceinnature #trees

It takes some time to see this, but I believe that the clearer you become the easier it is to see your own beauty And, trust me, you are remarkably beautiful, all it takes is the ability to see the truth for yourself. How could you not be? The very fact that you are here on the planet at this time proves you are a beautiful miracle meant to be just where you are just as you are... beautiful, beautiful you. Take some time today, to slow down and sit with the beautiful miracle that you are and find the truth of that. The more you do The Work of Byron Katie the more clearly you can see yourself.

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” – Laura Ingalls Wilder #mentalhealth #mindfulness #selflove #energy #gooutside #beinnature #stopandsmellstheflowers #mountains #ocean #forest #findyourpeace #takeawalk #sunrisesunset #loveyourself #happiness #hugatree #wildflowers #flowers #wisewomanofthewoods #earthing #connectwithnature #natureiseverything #bewithnature #awalkinthewoods #findyourhappy #getoutdoors #ilovenature #naturewalks #findpeaceinnature #trees
