Fall love and mindfulness

Nature is not only beautiful, it can help you relax and recharge.

This is an appreciation for the beauty that is fall. But also how it can help us relax and recharge. I won’t be telling you about my designs or anything like that. Just sharing photos with you from the last two weeks. I have also included a short video with relaxing sounds from the beach to take a moment to think about your breathing and be completely in the moment.

This is my favorite time of year. From the colors to the smells to the simple joys of cooking warming foods. The colors of fall are reflected in a lot of my designs. I mean, how can anyone resist them. But more so is how fall makes me feel. It helps calm me. It helps ground me.

I have an amazing garden center a mile from my house and whenever I am having a day, I head there and go for a walk between all the plants. It always makes my day better. There is so much beauty surrounding us in nature, but so often people forget to look up from their cell phones to actually look. If you don’t have a walking trail or garden center near you, just find some grass, shake off your shoes and soak up the earth. If you live in a city, look up towards the sky, take note of the clouds and try and listen for birds.

For 30 seconds of calm, click the play button on the video below. Breathe in slowly, hold, breathe out slowly. Repeat till the end of the video. Make sure your volume is up.

Do you have a favorite place to walk or head to during this season to slow down and take it all in? I’d love to know, leave me a comment below!
