Emotion

NATURE REFLECTIONS CHALLENGE

how does Nature make you feel?

Let’s connect to Nature through EMOTION…

What emotions does Nature inspire in us?

This pathway might be the most accessible of all the five pathways, for you can tap into it from the comfort of your home or by stepping outside.  

Follow the below steps and send us your reflections — handwritten, recorded or typed in!

If you are down for an outdoors adventure… 

Pick a comfortable spot – under a tree or on the flat-side of a rock are our top choices! 

… If you can’t get outdoors today — jump down to the indoors option.

Look around you.

Do you feel calm or in awe? How does your sitting spot make you feel? Can you detect any little critters? Do they make you nervous or curious? Does one of them bring you more joy than others? Why? 

STAYING INDOORS TODAY?

Follow these steps for #1 and #2 instead…

Sit in a comfortable position. Breathe deeply. In. And out. Think of something in or from Nature that moves you. It can be a memory, a smell, a colour, an animal… Anything that causes an emotional reaction in you. Does it bring you joy or calm? Perhaps it surprises you, instead? Why?

Spend some time with the feeling (or feelings!) that Nature awakens in you. 

Write or record your reflections and share it with us to have a chance to be part of our shared Community Journal! 

We are curious to know, how does Nature make YOU feel?

Focus on love and/or wonder, and let us know.

Ps. You’ll have an extra chance to be part of the ReWild Yourself Community Journal if you keep the submission to less than 80 words or under 40 seconds.

A WORTHWHILE NOTE:

Nature can make us feel many things and we want to welcome and accept every emotion. However, if certain emotions feel overwhelming, please check out our resources at the end of the page to get in contact and/or check out practitioners that especialise in eco-therapy and connecting the outdoors with our wellbeing.
