20.For the last couple of weeks,I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me.My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project,I was confused to find that instead,I was feeling rather depressed.I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.I had a relaxing bath,cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie,but to no avail.It was only when I turned to meditation for a solution that the answer came to me:turn to nature!
The very next day,I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve,even though it was pouring with rain.Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest,I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing,"I'm singing in the rain",a song I used to sing when I was a child.I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain our own spirits,which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly,it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels,but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city center.
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors,relax completely,remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
