"I need to observe closely some type of earth material", love this. Often times I'll put this pressure on myself to drive a distance or have to go somewhere to experience nature since I live in a populated/busy area. But this reminds me to appreciate the earth materials that is immediately around, even the smallest bit of water, earth, leaf holding so much within itself.

Thanks for this post! 3 things I do just about every day, take time to make myself a lavender matcha (just typing that brings me a sense of calm, I love that part of my day to enjoy the matcha and really look forward to it), my end of day gratitude journal entry to bullet point 3 things from the day (I've been doing this since 2017) and a 12 minute warm up to the day (12 exercises, 1 minute each, warms up the body and after the 12 mins I take some time to do tapping a a couple minutes of breathwork. Though I haven't been as consistent with this lately as much as I'd like, its a newer day practice.)

It was so refreshing to follow your thoughts as you naturally prioritized your interests and needs. I feel it’s uncommon in this world of fast paced ambition to be so aware of what you are needing physically and spiritually, and to prioritize this over worldly calls to action. This was such a sweet reminder for me to slow down and listen to the language my body and mind speaks to me. Thank you so much for sharing.

Walking and getting into fresh air is definitely mine also. It's so important to get movement and it's so nice that you can fit it into little pockets throughout the day.

I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing! My 3 things are… morning meditation, drinking a warm matcha late, connecting with one friend either on the phone or in person. Moving my body is also something that feels essential for me!

What a joy to read this. It’s the same values over here- my time, walking and gardening/garden observing, a little painting. Done.
