Tell us about the last experience you had that left you feeling fresh, energized, and rejuvenated. What was it that had such a positive effect on you?
I love spending time with nature. It energises me, makes me forget my troubles and grounds me. Nature is everywhere. Living in the city doesn’t mean I can’t connect. There are many ways within 15 minutes from my house or work place I can connect with nature. These include:
- Walking barefoot on green grass anywhere
- Enjoying the flowers in a local park
- Sydney Harbour
- Wetlands
- Swimming in the harbour beaches and pools
- Parramatta river
- Mindfully walk around the neighbourhood looking and listening for wildlife
If I wanted a day out I could travel to the beach, bush or the mountains. Both of these are favourites of mine and I enjoy both in all seasons. In one of my early posts I discuss getting back to the beach for the first time in many years in late autumn.
Other ways I like to energise myself is to get amongst mother nature herself. I love watching sunrises and sunsets, playing in the rain, watching thunder storms particularly over the ocean and recently in Ottawa walking in the snow storms. So when I feel I need for a little or big pick me up, I connect with nature, energise myself and get on with the day.

Yes! In the midst of winter here in Montana I found myself having nature withdrawal. I love (ice free) walks in the forests, under the sky. They are so restorative!
How peaceful!
Hi, I want to let you know that I am nominating you for the Versatility Blogging Award. If for any reason you decline the nomination, I will not be offended,
Thank you I am honoured and will look into accepting it this weekend.
I wholeheartedly agree! Walking in nature is a way to soothe the body and the mind.
Walking barefoot on the grass is indeed an energizing activity. Personally, I love to do this at the park with my pets. Connecting with nature really helps clear your mind.
