My love of nature is the only thing that has kept me sane these past several months.

I recently bought a kayak because the water is where you truly can be alone and at peace. I hope to have a peaceful meal on a river bank somewhere.

I hope i can re-learn how to relax.

Had a terrible dream last night where I acted completely out of character and mistreated one of my dogs. I can be a grumpy old bastard to gossipy morons but would never purposely hurt any animals outside hunting for food and then, do it as cleanly as possible. I have bad dreams and experience self driven fear and anxiety but anything against my dogs is so far out, it has to be an external attack. I think this shows that I need to walk closer to God.

I'll have to wait another month to try this. Our Mosquitoes and blackflies would devour my feet and ankles.

Thank you though, this is something that might bring humanity to a better place.

Good advice, fren, you can't beat getting close to nature and appreciating the good, simple things when the pressures of life and this current situation start to become a bit too overwhelming.

Amen, spend time out in His great creation daily!

Reconnecting with nature is a human need. It's not trivial. The Lord gave us dominion over all the Earth; we are its stewards.

We need to rebuild the Boy and Girl Scouts with their original goals in mind: get urban/suburban youth out into the wilderness and teach them some timeless skills.

I do gardening and I always go into a trance when I do. Very wonderful. Heightened awareness.

This. We all have to remember what life is really about : us as individuals and pursuing our personal happiness. Whether that be mountain climbing or just hanging out with the dogs in the yard on a beautiful day.

Life is a lot of doom and gloom. It is always a good thing to reconnect with yourself ; remember what you care about truly and what REALLY matters.

I've said this before and I will always stand by it: For a better life turn off the TV, put down the hand held obsession. Things immediately start to turn around when you complete those first two steps.

Yes, be informed, be involved, be educative. But don't forget what you're fighting for, and there's nothing wrong with dedicating time PER DAY to reaffirm that to yourself. After all, your life is about YOU and what and who YOU care about : everything else should take a back seat.

Great advice :)

Yesterday I did something similar... I live a very blue city in California so yesterday we decided to drive up to the mountains. We found a stream and walked around in it with our shoes ON (it was rocky). It was beautiful to see so many other people doing the same thing. It was the perfect way to wash away stress and just enjoy nature.

Also, it was nice to see how based California is once you leave the city! Lots of patriot frens out there!

Thanks for posting this. Excellent advice!

Or just go jogging outside.

Say hello/love thy neighbor, and laugh at cucks wearing masks.

Being outside is great for mental health

I've had my own struggles and wrote a short paragraph about this the other day how demons were attacking me through my family. One took his own life in 2019 and the same year another close to me fell off sobriety and caught some legal charges that he's still dealing with. I shake it off and move on(footprints in the sand ?). It's also why Q told us to put on the full armor of God.

I believe there's actual scientific evidence that shows that grounding has actual positive effects on the body. Reduces inflammation is one of them iirc. It has been theorised that electrons from the earth could be part of it.

Grounding, or Earthing, has been scientifically proven to provide numerous health benefits.

For those who can't reach grass patches due to living in concrete jungles, there are grounding / earthing mats that you can purchase that help provide some benefit.

I have a beautiful river literally in my backyard that helps me do that. Nothing like it. Soon the fish will be filling it, rolling and splashing in our back eddy. Thanks God!

Living in stereo with nature connects us with Him.

I used to have nightmares where I got lost trying to find my way home, usually in a big unknown city. A few weeks ago ago I had a particularly bad one, it was awful.

In it a young girl came up and asked me if I was alright, I told her I was having a nightmare and couldn't wake up, she gave me an affectionate hug and I woke up.

Since then there have been no more of these dreams, she was an angel sent to me to show me the way home.

I love this post. And god has blessed me with a Harley Davidson for such times. ?

True about the forest. I once grounded in the Adirondacks and the effects were immediate. Way better than my city back yard.

Guided Meditation on Spotify or YouTube...it's quite nice, very relaxing. I highly recommend it.
