Think about where nature exists in your community. What purpose does it serve?
Start to notice this week the nature around you in your daily life. Begin to bring awareness to what you see daily that you may currently overlook- the trees along the roadside, the birds chirping around you, what flowers are blooming, etc. Check out this article to see how birds are related to mental health: (who would have suspected?!?!?!)
In a place in nature that is comfortable for you, please stop, sit, and relax without a phone to distract you for a minimum of 20-30 minutes. Due to COVID 19- you may choose to use your yard, neighborhood, or even look out your window. In a pinch, you could do an in-depth study of the plants and animals in your own home.
Identify (to the best of your ability) what forms of life are around that you may recognize. You can try using the Seek App or i Naturalist app to identify a few species (these are free).
What parts of nature can you observe through vision? What sounds of nature can you hear? Do you recognize some of the species you see?
