The beauty and simplicity of Costa Rica not only helped me to relax and reconnect with my daughter after the long and rough journey to finally finishing my degree but enabled me to experience again the joy of simple living. Street vendors with delicious meat and fresh fruits and veggies, everyone either walking or bicycling everywhere, and a welcoming smile and hug regardless of where we visited. It was amazing to get away from technology, stress, and fast paced life in metropolitan American.
On my journey to becoming Happier and Healthier, I attended the International Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah and thoroughly enjoyed the crisp cool mountain air, beautiful scenery, and the most welcoming and beautifully diverse group of entrepreneurs from around the globe. I learned so much and enjoyed learning - it was empowered and relaxing at the same time.
Now I have brought what learned home and spend time in my own home-made oasis, unwinding, relaxing and reflecting. I revel in the positives and analyze how the not so great can be improved or let go completely. Along with some other new changes in my life, reconnecting with nature has been extremely beneficial not only in moderating my stress and pain levels, but has boosted my weight loss results, and improved how well I sleep at night.
Finding ways to relax and reconnect with nature do not need to be fancy or require expensive trips to your dream vacation place. I brought the beach and tropics to my home with a few cans of paint in soft, relaxing colors in the bathroom and on the porch. The torches make sitting out after dark even more soothing as the natural form of light allows my brain to wind down while enjoying the sounds of cooling fall nights.
Get back to nature, relax, and breath in fresh renewal. Release that stress to the wind and see how many aspects of your life improve. You wont regret it - I promise.
Pura Vida!
