Finding joy in nature

I have been nurturing myself back to a healthy and happy state over the last five years, after a particularly challenging period in my life.

During that time, I started to better understand myself, health and past experiences and events. With the support of energy healing, crystals and talk therapy, I found a way to navigate through it.

By moving through those darker moments, I was able to find my way back to the light. It took strength, patience, compassion and a willingness to truly look within. I had to trust that, in time, I would grow through it all.

Along the way, I realised how much I had taken nature for granted. Reconnecting with it has been one of the most grounding and powerful parts of my journey. I’ve been spending more time outside, listening, observing and allowing myself to learn from its quiet wisdom.

Nature reminded me of my resilience, of the hope and determination I carry within my heart. It helped me remember myself, my way of being, thinking and loving. It brought back a sense of joy and wonder that I had almost forgotten.

Recently, when life felt overwhelming again, I found myself returning to those simple practices: walking, sitting with the trees and noticing the signs of spring all around me. I made a promise to plant some seeds, something I hadn’t done in five years.

What surprised me most was how much joy it brought. In just a few days, the seeds began to sprout. Now, over a week later, nearly all of them have grown.

Caring for these seedlings has felt deeply symbolic. It’s reminded me of the care and attention I need to give myself, something I had been neglecting.

This small act has brought clarity, reflection and a renewed sense of intention.

Sometimes, it’s the simplest things that guide us back to ourselves.

With love
