Finally it rained, the plants drank, the air smelt fresh, the snails came out and the birds sang. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #yourspace #explore #connect #understand #walkandtalk #notice #selfcompassion #reframe

Thistles have arrived. We need to notice where we put our feet so we don’t get hurt.. Like the thistle, our critical voice takes over our thoughts and hurts us. The more we can become aware and notice this voice the more we ease the pain #notice #understand #reflect #connect

Taking time to find our way through the drenched green fields of buttercups.. #ecotherapy #outdoortherapy #connect #notice #explore #walk #wonder #slowdown #reflect #understand #bekind #accept #selfcare #findyourpath #findyourself #move #forward

Today the mist immersed us.. change in weather gives us an opportunity to experience and feel difference. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #change #difference #mist #connect #notice #weather #nature #natural #see #reflect #different #waysofseeing #being #journey #beauty #lost #found

As we walked the deer watched and waited…it can be easy to forget we are all part of this wonderful natural world.. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #walk #sidebyside #togther #nature #explore #connect #notice

Noticing - makes the invisible visible - who would have thought that such a small, seemingly insignificant thing like a dew drop on a blade of grass could inspire such wonder. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #notice #awe #yourspace #slowdown #reflect #connect #widerworld #nature

Walking together in the early morning light - taking time to connect, reflect, notice, understand and recognise the choices we have in this ever changing world .. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #nature #connect #slowdown #anchor #grounding #selfcare #selfcompassion #youmatter

A #peacevase was buried in the deer park where I walk. A Peace Vase is a sealed container filled with all kinds of substances and blessed by those who have made them, with the sincere wish to benefit all beings. #gratitude

As the New Year begins take a moment to pause and ask yourself - is there one small thing I can do that would make today just a little easier ? #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #pause #onestepatatime #thelittlethings #makeadifference #connect #bekind #begentle #selfcare

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Winter solstice- today is the shortest day. Recognising this can feel helpful. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #ShortestDay #hopeful

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Things can feel overwhelming at this time of year - try to make space to pause even if it’s just for a few minutes in the day… wrap up, go outside, place your feet firmly on the ground, look up at the sky and breathe, feel the tingle of cold … you will get through this #reset

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Walking as the sun rises, being present at the start of a new day can lift mood ..one of the joys of the shorter days is that the sun rises later so it’s more possible to be part of this special time of day.. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #winter #sunrise #hope #optimism #connected

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Within the days of wild weather yesterday was a day when the wind was still, the sun shone, and the birds sang - noticing this difference can make things feel just a little bit easier #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #change #moments #joy #different #notice #connect #nature #uplifting

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

The view is not always clear it can often feel blurred and distorted..together we can find ways to ease, make sense and understand what we are experiencing. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #ease #understand #connect #reflect #explore #workout #makespace #givetime #self #compassion

Noticing the colours of Autumn… #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #notice #seasons #autumn #change #lettinggo #warm #cold #fresh #crisp #morning #shorterdays #fires #longnights #slowdown

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

It can be beneficial to see things from a different perspective - #outdoortherapy #outdoors #waysofseeing #options #choices #connect #nature #explore #notice #movement #ease #lighter #walk #talk #together #sidebyside #understand #letgo #reframe #moveforward

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Storm clouds are coming

Noticing the signs enables us to decide to stay outside or indoors

The important thing is recognising the choices - we don’t always have to battle on

It’s okay to acknowledge how we are feeling and explore what would make things a bit easier…

As we were walking a Pale Tussock moth caterpillar passed by.
We stood and watched in wonder. #outdoortherapy #ecotherapy #wonder #notice #connect #nature #awe #beauty #caterpillar #autumn #wow #watch #listen #see #bepartofit #widerworld

[TheOutdoorTherapist @TalkingOutdoors]

Intentions were set for this one to one 2hour mini therapeutic session. As we talked, we wandered through woods to a beach where we swam in clear waters. We drank well-being tea in the autumn sunshine before walking back into the world we had left behind. #outdoortherapy
