"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
As you girls know I am a BIG fan of 'forest bathing' or walking in the woods!! One of my favorite traditions is when we get coffee and walk in the woods for mother's day!
Now here is an article that proclaims even more reasons to get into nature. It states how important it is to walk in the woods, with NO AGENDA. Some of the numerous benefits from forest bathing is that it boosts your immune system and helps one be better able to deal with stress and stressful situations,
two areas of our lives where we could use all the help that we can get!!
So with so many positive health benefits gained by walking in the woods,
I needed to remind us all
to get thee to a forest!!
as often as you can!!

The tonic of the wilderness was Henry David Thoreau’s classic prescription for civilization and its discontents, offered in the 1854 essay Walden: Or, Life in the Woods. Now there’s scientific evidence supporting eco-therapy. The Japanese practice of forest bathing is proven to lower heart rate and blood pressure, reduce stress hormone production, boost the immune system, and improve overall feelings of wellbeing.
there is also a lovely video with the article that I recommend you watch,
especially if you don't have time to read the article.
love, mom
