Trees, open water or mountains can bring a deep sense of return. Time in those places quiets the noise of the day and leaves you feeling more present in yourself.
- feeling your shoulders drop as soon as you reach the beach
- walking among trees after a difficult day and noticing your thoughts slow
- sitting beside a river without needing to fill the silence
- planning regular drives to the hills because the space restores something in you
Looks vs reality
The same Experience can look very different from the outside than it feels on the inside.
Just wants to get out of work.
My brain is at 110% capacity and I will crash if I don't find quiet.
Being a bit of a hippie.
The sounds of traffic feel like a physical assault; the sound of leaves is a balm.
Seems bored and understimulated.
I'm not understimulated, I'm *over*stimulated. I need less, not more.
Just trying to get a good photo.
Desperately trying to anchor myself in something real and grounding before I spin out.
