Most of these strategies bring us to focus on the moment. No wonder they work to ground us so well!

That is true!

These days I've also found that the actual work in the garden and not just chilling these is probably my number one "stay calm, stay cool" way to deal with the madness at the moment.

Thank you for stopping by! :)

I get out in nature in really any form. Stopped paying attention to mainstream media... so much less stressed!

Agreed, I am just not that consistent with this habit, or better said lifestyle, as I should be.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

I love and do all of those things too - and find so much balance even just after unplugging for half an hour.

@porters here on behalf of @NaturalMedicine - That must be tough if you have a hard time stepping away when there's so much going on! You have found some wonderful ways to de-stress find your balance and maintain your sanity! So much of it has to do with nature (except for the reading) and it is one of the things I turn too, for bringing more peace in my life! Thanks for responding to the @ecotrain QOTW in such a lovely fashion - loved your photos!

Yes, it's quite challenging and there's a lot of space for improvement. :)
Nature is definitely the best way to de-stress and it's the best healer.

Thanks again, for your comment and support! Have a wonderful day!

I almost did the same thing with my day but I then started reading stuff online and writing articles.

I keep trying to make a hashtag out of how I feel but all I can come up with is #steemwillnotsurrender!

i bought a new basketball!

Niceee! I also got a cheap one when they made a small basketball court 10 meters from my house recently, haha.

And turn off/throw away your TV

I don't have a TV in my room for more than 10 years I think. :) There's still one in our living room, my parents watch it a lot, I'm trying to avoid it but sometimes it gets to me, haha.

Thank you for your comment and positive vibes!

Those are beautiful ways to spend time and center oneself. I especially like being near the water, it is the most comforting and soothing of sensations. Is that big wonderful river near where you live?

nikolina (65) · 5 years ago

Thank you. :)

Yes, it's like 4-5 kilometers from my house where the river flows and then there is one small part where it forms something like a small lake almost.
Unfortunately, the water is not that clean but it's still a nice spot to chill at and relax. I hope people will be treating it better though.
