Overwhelm Tips from Nature

Overwhelm Tips from Nature

With less than a month until the end of the year, I wonder if I’m the only one experiencing moments (or even hours!) of occasional overwhelm?  

Do you ever scream at your screen or curse the computer? The more noise contaminates our time, the more we need to escape, if only momentarily, from the ‘high tech’ to the ‘high touch’ environment of nature. Electricity can recharge my devices but only nature has sufficient power to recharge the spiritual batteries of my soul.

Too often, we take energy, personal and environmental, for granted until we no longer have it. Regardless of our roles in life, we all need to be re-energized. Both nature and time have a unique way to rejuvenate if we allow space for this to happen in our hectic schedules. I often need to remind myself of the ancient wisdom from Lao Tzu that:

 ‘Nature does not hurry. Yet everything is accomplished.’

For simple nature-related tips to help cope with that overwhelm, go my blog.

And for that perfect Christmas gift, here’s a peek at ‘The Gift of Nature: Inspiring Hope & Resilience.’

looks so stimulating! I want to read it? ?when it's out. you do a great job with all the things you do. I miss my old friend, your uncle Frank. I am in a long term care place now...in need of motivation.? Gord Chapman
