Being out in nature grounds me and keeps me present. I tend to spend a lot of time in my head, but when I take time to sit outside and simply surround myself with and feel the nature in front of and around me, the churn of thoughts lessens and I’m able to feel more settled. And in that present state I can release some of the thoughts and feel peaceful and energized at the same time.

What allows you to feel present and calm? Nature? Connecting with people you love? Taking time to rest? Going for long walks?

Knowing where you can go and what you can do when you are feeling depleted can help during those times when you feel you need and want to take some time to regroup.

I hope you are able to make time for yourself this weekend to regenerate in ways that work best for you.
