There is a lot of beauty around us, especially in nature!
Through most of my life, until 2020, I would feel an unease in my body, as soon as I would step outside my home.
Something in my mind, would automatically set off, and render me nervous in natural surroundings. I could feel my senses on super alert. As a result, I could not appreciate the beauty in nature, although, my respect for nature has always been present, since childhood.
This changed for me drastically in 2020, though, I felt subtle changes, since 2019. I have been more comfortable around nature, since then.
There is a lot of greenery around my place. I now take time to look outside my window, watch squirrels play around, a kite calling (I love this sound.), birds chirping, dogs barking, cats meoing, butterflies playing, spiders spinning a web, ants working together to carry a food item, bigger than their body.
These and many such scenes in nature, educate us, that nature has its own challenges, but, it does not go around grumbling, but, instead just keeps moving forward. These are fascinating to watch and experience. It invokes a reverance for all of nature.
Sometimes, especially, on weekends, I draw the curtains, let the sun's rays into my room, sit with my morning coffee, and just look around to see what I can notice, reflect, appreciate, and just be!
When these sights and sounds come into my awareness now, I feel connected with my surroundings, and experience a stillness that is very peaceful, a peace I had not experienced before, simply because I was shut off to all this beauty, that had always been there in such close proximity.
In nature, we can truly experience that inner peace, that we long for, especially in the kind of challening world or personal situations we find ourselves in. The beauty, and resilience, that we see in nature, enriches our own inner and outer world, as we learn to notice and appreciate all of this beauty and its infinite vastness.
SoulNotes to Self: Happiness is...noticing and appreciating the beauty all around us!🦋🌷🍄
We are all connected, at a soul level!
I have realised, that we are deeply connected with nature. And there is no better way than to connect with divinity and our innerself, than to take a walk in nature, and allow for more of such connection. It has opened my senses to notice more, and therefore, appreciate more.
I would like to affirm, as often as I can, that...
...I am one with nature!
...I am one with this infinite universe that exists around us!
...I feel grateful for all this beauty, and the ability to now, notice and appreciate it all!
...I feel at peace with everything and everyone around me!
...I feel grateful for all of nature, including myself!
Love, peace and gratitude, from my soul to yours!
Soulful
