Email: Very stressed due to job, home. Ways to relax? (Singapore)
Forest Bathing (shinrin-yoku). Japanese word for soaking in pure air, charming scents, lush vegetation, natural sounds of birds, animals in forests. Relaxing waterside treks, rain-forest trails, walks by a mountain lake. Camp in a jungle, watch with wonder the sunrise, sunset, starry night sky.
Amazing health benefits of walking peacefully in nature apart from fresh air, exercise. Scientists believe ‘forest days‘ are a wonderful way of reducing chronic pain, fatigue, stress. Soft serenity helps regulate blood pressure, heart-related issues.
Self-care is gritty, treacherous stuff. A few moments of sweet, simple sanctuary can be found. A pristine pause to rejuvenate, to just be, to boost creativity. Reflect on a bunch of innocent questions, enjoy equally innocent answers to reclaim pieces of self gone missing in an accomplishment driven culture.
