There\u2019s power in connecting with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I think of the saying, \u201cStay grounded by nature,\u201d a few definitions come to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One is connecting yourself back to Earth, or what you believe in, to remain whole, or to find yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In life, whether it\u2019s your job, family, or relationships, they may affect you in a way that makes you lose a sense of your identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am a free-will type of girl with morality. I develop my opinions to fit my needs and interests, to personalize the experience and not allow what society says to deem me right or wrong – there\u2019s power in individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, practicing grounding is a great way to learn to appreciate and value life\u2019s simplest qualities, like nature. It\u2019s going outside – barefoot, lying in the grass, soaking up the sun, and finding the joy of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some ways I stay grounded by nature : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When I plan a trip to explore nature, I ask myself, “Okay, why do I want to do it?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n Am I just getting some fresh air, or seeking a reset?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why do I practice resets?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Resets allow me to break out of what\u2019s bothering me and reconnect to my purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all have purposes in this life, and sometimes life will kick you off that purpose. Practicing resets (staying grounded by nature) helps you get back there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See what I did there? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Be intentional with everything you do in this life. Teach yourself that it’s okay to make mistakes, but reflect on your intention behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to always<\/strong> ask yourself, \u201cWhy am I doing this?\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes we get unsure of what we\u2019re doing, but during this exercise, don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just go outside, and touch some grass<\/strong> – literally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Staying grounded by nature isn\u2019t supposed to be scary; it isn\u2019t anything new, it\u2019s just a calling for you to let nature bring you peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s decompression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I am a journaling advocate. Journaling has been a very peaceful and rewarding way for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s connected to my way of grounding because when I sit by the water, I bring my journal and reflect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the biggest ways I place myself in nature is jotting down while I am in the moment – what I hear, what I see, and how I feel being around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Writing in the moment and using your five senses is a perfect way to ground yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s not always easy to go to a park, sit in the grass, and lie there. It can be daunting and a bit uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To combat that, bring your hobbies along. Bring that coloring book or that puzzle. Find a hobby that\u2019s connected to you and practice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why should I practice hobbies and get grounded at the same time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You’re enriching yourself in the activities that already bring you to wholeness. The only difference is now, you\u2019re just outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I can\u2019t explain it, but it\u2019s amazing to be outside doing something I love on a warm day with the sun shining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During this period, take some time to reflect and appreciate YOU truly. The power of grounding is rooted in individuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have my best moments in nature when I am alone there. You can do as you please, but I believe that to truly learn about and appreciate yourself, you need moments by yourself without any influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just God and your free will to want to improve the quality of your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n1.
