Forest Bathing is a real thing! Walking, especially in natural settings, reduces stress and lowers cortisol levels, thus calming the overactive sympathetic nervous system responsible for the "fight or flight" response. Simultaneously, it enhances parasympathetic activity, which governs "rest and digest" functions, leading to improved relaxation, digestion, and overall mental health. # Shirin-yoku, or "forest bathing," is a Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in nature, which further amplifies these benefits by significantly reducing stress and enhancing emotional well-being through mindful, meditative walking in natural surroundings Podcast - @tombilyeu Speaker - @jillianteta

Dreams can save your life. Our sleeping state is more aware than you could ever imagine. Rely on it for problem solving, creativity and your dreams will offer answers to questions that your conscious self didn’t even ask. #LifeOnTheBrightSide #dreams Credit: @outstandingscreenplays

From @ancestralhabits

ancestralhabits This post is not meant to insinuate that prehistoric lives were luxurious... they weren't. Antibiotics, electricity, clean water- there is no question. As always, the point of this page is not to go back in time, but to learn from the deep prehistoric past about evolution-driven human behaviors and habits to which our modern selves are still very much adapted. The point here is to question how our prehistoric roots influence how we spend our time today when we have time to spare. Entire vacations and holidays are planned around these activities in some parts of the world (*) that can be largely disconnected from these very innately human behaviors to begin with. And ironically, most of these have been monetized into multi billion dollar industries It's all very backwards when you think about it... #lifeonthebrightside

From @harrybakerpoet Donna Ashworth & Harry Baker “The sequel we've all been waiting for! 6 months ago I came across @donnaashworthwords stunning poem. ‘Joy Chose You' on @limitless_em podcast, and asked if I could share it own my own podcast as my 'Something Borrowed'! Since then that video has been viewed about 20M times (including by Rachel from friends!) and me and Donna have become poetry friends (the best kind), so much so that we're hopefully going to do a gig together when I finally get some Scotland dates organised for the next bit of my tour! € I was therefore thrilled when Donna told me she had written a follow up poem and I couldn't resist sharing it as part of last month's episode. Today I will be breathing in the basic by ignoring my inbox and going for a bike ride and having lunch with my friend. I hope Joy finds her way back to you somehow today too x do #harrybaker #donnaashworth #poetry #poetsofinstagram #joy #spokenword #LifeOnTheBrightSide
