A Dale’s Thought: Nature
A Dale’s Thought: Nature
The “Nature” Column
The idea of being trapped means to not have the ability to get out of a situation. It feels like there is no way out and all methods used before bring you back to the same place. What are you supposed to do when you have no place to go but you can see where you want to be? How do you keep hoping for the best when all that your dreams provide you with is rejection? We are always looking for a way out, but not to get out of the situation. We want to escape from life when it hits us with the tough times and gives us no reason to smile again. They say that it gets better and the best way to live is to move forward, but we are tired of hearing the same motivational message over and over. So let’s listen to a new voice and forget those messages. Could there be a more powerful force than the words of motivation? The answer is yes because when all words fail to reach our hearts the only thing that can save our soul is the healing sound of nature.
What is nature and how can it heal us?
Nature consists of the elements of the natural world that create a breathtaking scenery at any time of day that can be seen from all perspectives. Over time industrial development has controlled parts of the beautiful land that once held a powerful scene, but there are special locations that we can find to give ourselves the peace we need. Think about a situation when you got stressed out over an assignment at school, a situation at work, or an issue with your family. You did not expect that moment to happen but at this point the stress has built up so much pressure in your mind and you need a way to get rid of that feeling. You talked to everyone that you thought could help you and now you wonder how if that was enough. Talking to the right people can provide you with some motivation to take the next step but you need one more thing to take your life to the next level.
As of this moment you are halfway to the point of full recovery and you are hoping to return back to your true self. Let’s give the term “the next step” a new meaning and move out into the world to find the last piece of the puzzle. Stepping into the nature of your area can open your eyes and your mind to places that you would have never thought of if you stayed inside. Being creative and excited for the future is not possible if you do not have a special place or activity that you like to do. For some of us, nature provides us with that strong feeling of comfort and peace. Whether it is walking through a park, laying down at the beach, or relaxing on a bench you will notice a sense of relief when you take a break from your daily routine and make time to make yourself regain some happiness.
To fully understand the magic that nature can produce, let’s take a trip through the world of nature:
Imagine getting home from school or work and getting the chance to walk down there. You could bring a friend or family member and have a meaningful conversation. You could go by yourself and think about how you can change your game plan for the next day to make sure it is more productive. This walk has the potential to do whatever you need to happen in your life and making time for something like this is very important.
Having the ability to sit down and relax for a long period of time to look at a landscape like this would be a dream come true! Maybe right now you do not have the privilege to look out at this type of scenery but what you can do is set up some chairs and create this moment. This feeling can be experienced anywhere and one day, if you have it in your dreams, you will be able to experience this exact scenario.
Sometimes you do not need to rely on the environment in your area for your source of nature. You can take a vacation to where you really want to go! This chance to walk through a different area could give you the space you needed to be away from everything that was putting you down. Looking out at what makes the world beautiful leads to you taking a silent moment to yourself for a few seconds where you remember how amazing life can be if you have a positive mindset. It is definitely not safe to always rush to get work done and even if sometimes that must be done, you must also remember to take a break after the activity to return to your normal state of mind.
The beach has always been a popular place for people to go to whether they were on vacation or just wanted to have a fun day. Just watching the water move back and forth can be relaxing and could change your mood. The beach is a great place to go so if you feel like you need that type of relief do not hesitate to take the trip!
