That’s absolutely fantastic, definitely keep that up. And add in doing things, for no reason. I feel like we get in this grind of toxic productivity, maximising effort and output for ultimate returns, but your nervous system pays for that, it’s not as free as it feels.

There’s a whole part of your brain that isn’t verbal, and just reads the levels of safety in your environment, by how you feel. If you are constantly sending the message to your emotional brain, that we gotta get productivity out of every moment, it actually triggers the fight or flight, if you don’t balance it out with the safety affirming, of just being in the moment, just noticing what’s around you, doing something and just noticing your surroundings, the smell in the air, the way the wind moves in the trees, watching the clouds float, just be a body on a beautiful rock, for a moment, it tells your nervous system, we don’t have to be on allert, there’s no danger. Which in turn, lowers your cortisol and adrenaline. Making the experience of being a body on a beautiful rock, exponentially more enjoyable. Absolutely keep doing the exercise and endorphin boost, just add in “just because” once a day, here and there. Soothing to the soul.
