Tiny steps: Go outside

If you feel stressed, tired, confused or emotional - just go outside. 

Go for a walk, let yourself be enveloped by trees, by fields, by sunlight or twilight. Clear your mind and try to get a fresh look at what is making you feel this way. 

Nature always helps, I feel. 

Walking, breathing, taking in the scenery. 
Balancing on rocks to cross a brook. Eating lunch, seated on a fallen, mossy tree. 

Feeling your body work and how your muscles are aching for movement, to be used for more than hurrying. 

Tapping into the connection between you and nature, between the path you are treading and history. 

People have walked here for centuries. 

Carried heavy burdens, milked cows, herded sheep. 

Watched the mountains in the horizon and dreamed their dreams. 

This weekend, I went to my parents' cabin in Golsfjellet mountains and the pictures are from that trip.
