When things get really tough, we sometimes cannot take the time to really relax and unwind. Our brains take over with multiple to “do” lists and there just never seems enough time in the day, our sleep is interrupted and we feel wired and more easily irritated.

Some women live like this constantly, particularly if they have ongoing caring responsibilities or are in a highly stressful career. The problem is that we get so used to living in a stress response that after a period of time, it can have a detrimental effect on our health, wellbeing, and our relationships and can lead to burnout. 

Connecting with nature is a great way of helping us to come back to our natural balance. But even if we do find time to walk, we can be wound up into our own heads, barely noticing the beauty of what is going on around us. To gain maximum benefit, we need to learn to connect mindfully and be fully present in the experience.

The popularity of Nature Connection and Forest Bathing is growing and it can be enjoyed alone, in groups or with family and friends. I use NLP and the latest finding in nature connection research so you can learn to use this to your best advantage and manage any ongoing stress levels more effectively.
