Refresh!: A Nature Journal
Refresh! A Nature Journal is a journal all about your experiences communing with nature. Holistic health practitioners, psychology experts, medical professionals, and spiritual and religious leaders all talk about the absolute need for people to spend time outside in nature. In Japanese, the word is shinrin-yoku, and it means “forest bathing.”
Taking a walk or a hike in the woods, using your binoculars to scope out birds on a birding trip, sitting on the shore and finding solitude as your breathing becomes one with the waves, a field trip with a child looking for and identifying tiny lizards, insects, and small animals, kayaking down a river’s rapids, or simply starting your morning, by welcoming the new day by an outdoor, silent meditation, are all glorious ways to walk in nature.
In nature, your senses come alive. You brush against tree branches, feel leaves crunching beneath your feet, experience water dripping from your fingers after swirling your hand in an ocean, lake, bay, river, stream, or pond; your face and arms are warmed by the sun beating down on you; you hear the caws, chatter, and chirps of birds, the croaks of bullfrogs, the sound of small critters racing through the forest, and hear the secluded waterfall before you see it; you inhale the scent of fresh, wet earth and flowers; you can taste edible fresh berries, you see mountains and hills, deer running, a beautiful sunrise, and a colorful sunset. Besides the aspects your senses experience, being in nature is good for you physically and mentally. Nature is a de-stressor.
Refresh! A Nature Journal provides ideas of things you can do in nature, what you might need for those activities, and names of organizations where you might find like-minded nature lovers.
Refresh! A Nature Journal lets you capture what you feel while living a mindful life in nature. You can write about what you see such as keeping a bird count, or track your innermost thoughts or creative ideas that flourish without distraction, or write about a new discovery for a hike. Be one with nature—renew, invigorate, REFRESH–it keeps you healthy!
