staying grounded

In our fast-paced world, it is so important to stay grounded!

I like to spend a lot of time outdoors.
It renews me.
It inspires me.

It's the simple things like working with my hands in my garden that give me time to clear my brain. Choosing to walk, instead of drive, to the store allows for me to take in my surroundings, rather than rush past them. And sometimes I just like to sit on my bench swing or lay in my hammock so I can hear the sounds of nature.

When I connect with nature, the problems that seem so big in the moment start to slowly fade away until they don't seem so big and important anymore.

How do you stay grounded in your day-to-day life?
