Nature hike in the rain #2

[Starrlight]

I’m not telling myself bad things ; I’m being very aware of my thinking... yet I have a place, maybe I’m grieving, a place of so much pain and anxiety. And it’s pissing me off in a huge way.

How do you guys get out of your funks?

So far I hiked and am treating myself well but there something that I need to pass through me before I can feel safe again.

If you have any tips on what to do while waiting for the good ‘ol times ost here please. I am a bit off and need reminders

Hi Star.Try to remind yourself that everything passes.

Soon you with feel renewed and back to your old self just as the cycle of the seasons pass.

Your photo shows old leaves on the trees, soon the sap with start to rise and the new shoots will form and eventually the bright green new leaves will be here.

I’m with you on the hiking. I like to focus on everything I can when I’m out there to keep my mind from wandering. Leafs, trees, clouds, bugs haha. Something restorative about nature that heals us on many levels. Sorry you are in such a tough spot, the grieving process is a long road. Hope it gets easier for you

I also am refreshed physically and emotionally by being in nature. I hike and mountain bike by myself and enjoy the solitude. I remind myself to take one day at a time. Also to not dwell on past failures and to focus on living a life with the least amount of regrets to look back on starting with what I do in the present. I am also encouraged that many small positives that I do can add up to a substantial amount of progress and success in the future.

You are so wise. Yes I agree completely.
