♥️ I try very hard to practice what I preach. It’s an ethos I stand by because I have seen what happens when I don’t… I burnout.
That’s why I went offline for a bit and as the kids say ‘touched grass’… why? 🌞 💫 Because we need to learn how to play again. 💫 Because building a business is beautiful as it is absolutely brutal. 💫 Because grown up stuff is a grind we need to find a way out of every so often. 💫 Because life as a human in this world gets more surreal by the day and we need to remind ourselves that there are people and places where we do belong, we do feel safe, where we can let that armor go once in a while. 🧠 And as a nerd in nature, 🌱 we know science agrees…
Giving the brain a break is vital because modern life requires constant attention. This type of attention capacity is limited and eventually we fatigue. We are not AI.
Natural environments provide what researchers call ‘SOFT FASCINATION’ which is about gentle engaging stimuli, birds chirping, water flowing, trees in the wind. These things stimulate involuntary attention allowing your prefrontal cortex (your decision making part of the brain) to rest. Take the rest to be your best. 🤍 #nature #selfcare #neuroscience #play #rest
