If your mind feels troubled and you don’t want to share it, go find a tree and ask if it’s okay to tell your tree your worries. And then tell the tree all that’s on your mind. Really tell the tree everything. And after you are finished maybe even give the tree a hug and thank it for listening to you. Look around - does everything seem a little more manageable?
Benefits:
Often vocalizing is a way of releasing thoughts, rather than letting them continue to swirl around in your head
When you hug a tree, you release a hormone called oxytocin – known as the hormone of all the warm & fuzzy feelings and has been shown to lower stress and anxiety.
There is always a tree willing to listen to you, who knows you may even get an answer…
