Nature – Escape from the world

To some nature is a dirty, scary, and boring thing, to me it’s what get’s me through the day.

Nature is my escape from the stresses of the world.

Every day we are tackled with news, media, finances, responsibility, encounters with rude and negative people. All of this leaves you feeling weighed down and feeling like there’s no point to life.

Many people have hobbies they escape to, my escape is being in nature. Spending time in nature provides so many health benefits. It improves our mood and makes us kinder.

Being out in a trout stream fly fishing is the greatest thing in the world to me.

The relaxing flow of the water, the fresh air, the feeling you get after being in nature. Enjoying a great dinner of freshly caught fish.

Hunting with my husband and our dogs is another way I enjoy being in nature.
Seeing my dogs live the way they were meant to live gives me peace.

I believe that with everything there is balance. 
When we let daily stresses get us down it’s hard to find the motivation to keep going.

Getting outside even for a small thing like pulling weeds in the garden, helps put everything back into perspective.

I’d love to hear how you enjoy time outdoors. Let me know in the comments!
