Nature’s beauty is subtle, and vast

Amanda

When was the last time you laid in the grass and watched the clouds float by? Or sat quietly by your window just to watch the birds or the trees? When was the last time you recognized the miracle of your (hopefully) growing houseplant? Silly, I know, but how great is nature when you really think about it? It’s everywhere! It provides us with the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the serenity we need if we let it. Sometimes the best act of self love is simply letting nature to do its thing and allowing its grace to bring us peace and healing in its own way. Stargazing does that for me and (*bonus*) it doesn’t cost me a penny.

For those of you who may struggle experiencing nature firsthand, this video is a very suitable substitute. Enjoy!

Gratitude, Motivation Monday, Self Love

Motivation Monday: March 30, 2020

Amanda

I wanted to share a quote from Buddha for my first #MotivationMonday. The world could always use a little extra love.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you loved, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

I hope this week fills your soul with happiness, comfort, and purpose.

This week’s practice

This week, I ask that you take five minutes each day to meditate on a particular moment where you felt love. Acknowledge that feeling and thank its source. Was it from a kind word or gesture from a family member, friend, colleague, or a complete stranger? Was it from the pure bliss of a nice day or a happy pet? Did you do something good for another? Take some time to really feel the love.
