As it was Mental Health Awareness day when I started writing this , I thought it would be an important topic to feature in the blog. As humans we all need to be aware of our mental health. Especially, those of use living with chronic health conditions need to be mindful of your mental health at all times.
Fatigue was so intense this week I was not able to work at all and hardly even left my bed. When I was out it included doctors visits and blood collection. One of the days I had both and there was a space of a few hours in between so I decided to go over to the Public Gardens, located in Halifax and it is the oldest Victorian garden in North America that opened in 1867. (Halifaxpublicgardens.ca)
The gardens were my inspiration this for this weeks post.
It was a good choice as I hadn’t had very much exercise lately and not enough fresh air. Although we are into October with a chill in the air, the flowers still looked amazing. That little bit of time in nature in the middle of the city definitely made me feel better.
Find the small things in life that can bring inspiration for you, whatever that might be. Sometimes just some flowers can put a positive spin on things, even if it’s just for a moment.
There has been much research done on the health benefits of being in nature. Being in nature can help you emotionally and physically as walk helps with such things as blood pressure and and help reduce stress.
Still smiling,
C
