With all the chaos in our lives such as family and friends, work, school, health issues , and even technology..... we need a break. When is the last time you had spent time with yourself without any distractions or any other human being? If you can't remember, I think it's time for you to try a Shinrin Yoku. Shinrin Yoku is translated into english as "Forest Bath" is it a long time Japanese tradition that has health benifits each time you take a peaceful journey to the woods of forests. The health benefits include reduction of anxiety, stress, blood pressure, and cardiovascular issues. A shinrin Yoku is a great way to detoxify your mind and increase your physical activity.
I myself took a Shinrin Yoku and I felt so relaxed while walking. I wasn't bombareded with text messages or calls, or bothered by any human being. I was able to clear my mind of tangled thoughts and after my walk, I actually thought of some solutions for my thoughts. The walk was even more beautiful because I got to hike up towards a swiming hole, see all types of trees and flowers, and see small animals cross my path. I will be definately be doing this again.
