How to find happiness in nature

Time to feel tree-mendous

Find a tree, find your happiness…

  1. Choose your tree. A bonsai on your desk, a sapling in a garden or a towering giant in a forest.
  2. Get hands-on with your tree. Nature renews us, body and soul.
  3. Nurture it. Water your tree, trim it, clear weeds or litter from around it.
  4. Really look at your tree. Is it a home for insects or other creatures? What qualities does it possess? Focus on your tree and yourself.
  5. Just ‘be’, here, now, with your tree. Be yourself and do what you want.

Need an idea? How about:

  • relaxing in its shade
  • climbing
  • creating (trees are great subject matter)
  • sipping tea
  • meditating
  • dreaming
  • reading
  1. Watch your joie de vivre grow
