Stillness is such a simple yet complicated concept. I feel like we grow up programmed to always be “go go go”, (at least in the states) and that’s always bled into how I move through life. I’ve always felt the need to constantly be doing stuff - like being productive all the time, or doing the most things on our trips to make the most of our time, or being busy every single weekend, etc. but this way of living does sometimes come at the expense of our peace or wellbeing. my body has started to force me to slow down, & at first it was stressing me out- not having the energy to just GO like I used to. but I see now that it’s giving me the chance to appreciate slowing down 🥹 This is my first reel in weeks & this is the main reason I took a break from being on here! Because being STILL is HARD when you’re not used to it, but damn, is it eye opening! whether “being still” means taking a break from the chaos, taking a moment to feel present, or taking a moment to really appreciate the view in front of you, be sure to give yourself grace & take whatever version of being “still” it is you need. & when you take that moment to be still, take it without guilt - because nature is basically asking you to be still when it gives you a view like this 🥰 Taking care of yourself IS a form of being productive 🧡 Happy Monday, friends! 🫶🏼 #mondaymotivation #motivationalmondays #naturetherapy #outdoorlovers #adventurewithus #ouradventure #roadtripviews #roadtripusa #roadtrippers
