Some ideas on how to (re-)connect with nature ♡
⭑ Take a walk through the forest or a park, don't use your phone or listen to music, rather listen to the sounds of nature actively. What can you hear?
⛤ Collect some leaves, rocks, pine cones, feathers or anything else that you think is pretty! Maybe use your bounty to decorate your home with it?
⭑ Go touch some grass! No, this is not a joke, let's go feel the grass between your fingers and toes.
⛤ Try to find some flowers and smell them, what can you compare the scents with? Preferably, go outside and find wild flowers instead if bought ones!
⭑ Take a bath in a lake or dip your hands and feet into the water (a river is perfect, too!) Close your eyes and just feel the water.
⛤ Have a little picnic on a meadow, at the lake, in the forest or at any other peaceful spot. It's a date with yourself and with nature!
⭑ If this is an option for you: do some gardening work. Get your hands all dirty with earth and mud!
⛤ Pick some wild flowers from a meadow and make a little bouquet with them. (But please don't rip out the roots!)
⭑ Talk to the trees. Yes, this sounds silly but a tree is a perfect listener and companion if you need to talk something off of your chest.
⛤ Watch the sunset or sunrise. Enjoy this magical moment. How many colors can you spot?
⭑ Get some houseplants and take good care of them every day. (If you have pets, make sure your new friends are not poisonous for them!)
⛤ Observe. What kind of birds, plants, flowers and trees can you find in your environment? What kind of animals can you meet in the forest nearby? (Maybe write your observations down in a notebook!)
⭑ Lay down on some moss, grass or sand and just exist and feel how the earth carries you.
⛤ Go plant some flowers!
⭑ Spend some time in nature without social media (maybe leave your phone at home!)
⛤ Take a walk in the rain and / or dance in the rain.
⭑ Watch a thunderstorm from a safe spot
⛤ Craft a moss jar (these are so cute and perfect if you want some more nature in your own home!)
⭑ Keep little jars or flasks of the elements in your home (examples: earth - moss/earth/sand, water - water from a lake/river or collected rain water, air - a feather, fire - ashes, a used match)
⛤ Be more attentive to your environment: when do you notices changes in the seasons?
⭑ Have a self-love day, because you are a part of nature as well and deserve your own love!
⛤ Try to actively appreciate nature: be more thankful for the food, the water, the warmth nature provides us

you dont get how refreshing anne of green gables is like yes sometimes you really must imagine there are dryads combing their hair in the woods and little girls in the cupboard who love you and places called the lake of shining waters and lovers lane and be glad you live in a world where there are october’s and be full of love and wonder and whimsy and imagination

you are not a wasteland you just need ibuprofen and a hot bath and a shower and a nutritious meal and some water and some fresh air and to do something productive and to do something creative and to do something that takes physical exertion and to do something social
making a collection
Sit with it, parse it, integrate it, air it out, clarify it, then loosen your grip

Hey you know that thing you're good at? That thing you think makes you valuable? The way you are, or the thing you do, etc?
You can be and deserve to be and will be loved and cherished even without it.
You're not worthwhile because you help, or you are good at making your art, or your skills at your job. You're worthwhile inherently, as a person, even without all that.
And I want you to internalize that because otherwise there might come a day where you can't do The Thing You Think Makes You Valuable. You'll get sick and can't draw, you'll burn out and can't do your job, you'll be emotionally unable to do your regular helpfulness for whatever reason, and you'll start to feel like you have no worth anymore.
But that's not true. You have worth, you deserve comfort and companionship and happiness, and that's not a conditional thing. You deserve that, even if you can't be Useful and Productive and all that shit.
It's an easy trap to fall into to justify yourself as "well, at least I help/make art/work hard" and have that be entirely too much of your self-esteem. Being proud of your work is fine. Being proud of yourself solely through your productivity is not, because you're making it conditional. And conditional on something that can change for reasons completely outside your control!
You gotta stop thinking about it like you gotta justify the space you take up on the planet. It's great if all those things make you happy: just make sure they're not the only things that make you feel like you are justifying your existence, or you'll crater if they get taken away.
You are lovable and likable and you have value as a person and a member of society, even if you never can be productive again. You are enough.
JOY HAS A HABIT OF RETURNING. BTW
If life is a never ending loop of dirty dishes and laundry then that means life is a never ending loop of home cooked meals and comfy clean clothes
Looking out the window and seeing a little bird can honestly be so life changing
i love when i'm trying really fucking hard and i actually pull the thing off. it makes me want to do more things instead of being self-pitying and withdrawing. to stop putting myself at the bottom mentally. assuming that things will go poorly just drains me of my energy. life gets better but sometimes you have to kick it in the teeth and believe in yourself. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, YOU FUCK
Miss me with that mortal bullshit.
I long for a place I do not know
I ache for a place I cannot go
