Enhance your Life by altering your Surrounding.

the people

who know me well will agree that i have

been

a visibly anxious person i was very

eager

or concerned to do something or for

something to happen

but now i have found a way that has

helped me

to bring down my anxieties

i found a way for us to help tune our

mental radios

to just the right frequency and focus

on what really matters

don’t you have those days when the mind

keeps switching between the past

and the future the what if and the what

could be

so i’m going to tell you what i learned

by shifting to the mountains from the

city

how it changed me and the things that

you can try no matter where you are

in 2018 completely exasperated by my

monotonous life back in city i decided

to move to the himalayas and start a

life full of passion and purpose

i co-founded a unique eco stay in a

remote village

at the height of 2700 meters with the

most amazing view

that we could find i thought if i

started living in the moment

and created a space where everyone could

come together and enjoy nature

it would be the perfect way for me to

live an amazing stress-free life and

start living in the moment

the stuff of dreams right well

not exactly in fact on the contrary

it made me even more anxious than what i

was back in the city

i mean look at this house that we had to

renovate

i was completely out of my comfort zone

in a new place where

every task felt quite literally like an

uphill battle

managing the work on site solving

problems that i had no idea about

and the expectations i had set up on

myself to create something

really beautiful added to my anxieties

i had thought that changing my location

would change me automatically and

clearly

that wasn’t happening the paradise that

i had imagined in my dreams

was now turning out to be my worst

nightmare

what do you think went wrong i was still

the same me

just living in a more beautiful place

the change had to come from somewhere

else

so as we were renovating the house

during what turned out to be the worst

winter of the decade

i was staying there with one of my

co-founders while we were taking care of

these three cute puppies

it’s not so much that year that multiple

landslides

damaged the only road that led to our

site

we had no power for days and the

temperature would drop to -10

freezing the only water supply we had we

spent our days trying to

somehow manage for water drop by drop

as we waited for the storm to pass

but it was not all that bad either

it was a sort of a forced detox where we

were forced to

stay indoors and we were thrown back in

time unable to do any work

in such extreme moments of adversities

i finally found the peace i had come

seeking

i realized that the beauty of staying in

the wild

was when you had no option but to

surrender completely

your senses in nature and to be honest

as time passed my brain would still find

ways for me to go back to my ways of the

city life

working hours on laptop countless

watching countless tv series movies

online

endless scrolling on social media the

usual stuff

but i had felt that moment of clarity

and started seeking more ways to

experience it

one thing that did work in my favor was

that because of me

being able to shift in a remote location

i cut down

on a lot of distractions automatically

for example

i didn’t have to drive to work every day

i couldn’t go out to eat or party

or go to theaters or malls that this led

for me to have more time for myself

which i utilized to dissolve the

boundaries between what was going inside

my head

and the serenity that i saw outside

i started doing yoga meditation and

working out with a lot more interest

as it felt so much more effective

when i intended to connect with nature i

started going on short hikes to explore

the jungles around me

i read book about mindfulness meditation

and practiced what i learned

in the wilderness

i tried to see the beauty from my camera

lens

to capture the movement and emotion that

i felt through it i gazed

upon the starry nights with a sense of

wonder

and awe

it took me nearly two years after

shifting to the mountains

to find the perfect mental balance

and to feel more focused and

clear-headed

i realized that the real change had to

come from the inside

but honestly it would have been

impossible if i didn’t have this

opportunity

to completely immerse my senses in

nature

it’s a very simple idea by clearing all

the urban clutter

physical and mental distractions i was

able to clear the cut clutter inside my

head

being in the mountains just pushed me

out of my comfort zone

which gave me this new perspective

and there is plenty of research to prove

how healing nature can be

scientists in uk gathered evidence from

over 140 studies involving 290 million

people and prove the health benefits

that nature has on humans

connecting with nature increases our

intellect

as you can clearly see it also makes you

more capable

of dealing with stress and anxiety

biologically

we’re built better to function with

nature than with more technology

that’s why nr of walking in the park

will surely

help you feel much better than an hour

of

instagram or facebook would ever do

please understand i’m not saying for you

to leave

everything and move to the jungles but

there are few things that you can try

no matter where you are

i’ll do a small experiment i’ll play a

small clip

and i would want for you to imagine what

is this sound

is it a bird or is it an insect

well that was actually a trick question

because this was the sound of the most

common squirrel

found almost everywhere have you

actually ever tried listening to the

sounds of the birds

and animals outside your house and try

to figure out

what species they are what color they

are

what kind they are they say

to find the silence and peace inside

you try and hear through all the silence

and seek the silence outside

so if you can immerse your

senses in nature completely next time

you go out

and try and actually hear try doing

walking meditation

bare feet on grass and bring your

attention

to your steps every time your mind

wavers

bring nature inside your house clear the

clutter and make space for plants that

you can take care of by yourself

grow some herbs take some time out in

nature completely

even if it is for a weekend plan for an

escape into the wild

you can even come to my place

we need to stop getting stuck in this

endless loop

of social media and news that is not

even new

do you know that you can delete your

instagram and reinstall it

when you need it i do that all the time

it’s amazing how free that it is i’ve

hidden my whatsapp

deep in my abs where my eyes can’t go it

turned off all notifications

and i only go to these apps when i have

time for them

these apps are meant to take your

attention

in the times that we’re living in we

have a thousand reasons to feel

a lot more anxious but if there is one

thing

that i can say for sure is that if

you’re looking for a peaceful mind

start by dissolving the boundaries

between you your mind

and your body and nature i

hope this helps for you to be more you

to tune your mental radios to just the

right frequency

which is of this movement make it a

point to connect with nature

every day because after all aren’t we

all

born to be wild

you

了解我的人会同意,我一直

是一个明显

焦虑的人 让我们帮助将我们的

精神无线电调整

到正确的频率,并专注

于真正重要的

事情,当头脑

不断在过去

和未来之间切换的那些日子里,如果和

可能发生的

事情,我会去吗? 告诉你我

从城市搬到山上学到了什么

它如何改变了我以及

无论你在哪里都可以尝试的事情

2018 年完全被我

在城市的单调生活完全激怒了我决定

搬到喜马拉雅山并开始

充满激情和目标的生活

我在一个海拔 2700 米的偏远村庄与人共同创立了一个独特的生态住宿,拥有

我们能找到的最令人惊叹的景色 我想如果我

开始生活在当下

并创造一个空间,每个人都 我可以

聚在一起享受大自然,

这将是我

过上令人惊叹的无压力生活并

开始生活在当下的完美方式

梦想的东西

并不完全相反,

它让我比什么更焦虑

我回到了城里,

我的意思是看看这所我们必须翻新的房子,

我完全脱离了我的舒适区

,来到一个新的地方,

每项任务都像是一场

艰苦的战斗,

管理现场工作,

解决我没有的问题

我对自己设定的想法和

期望 创造一些

非常美丽的东西 增加了我的焦虑

我认为改变我的位置

会自动改变我

显然

这并没有发生

我在梦中想象的天堂

现在正在转变 成为我最糟糕的

噩梦

你认为哪里出了问题

在这十年来最糟糕的

冬天里,

当我们照顾

这三只可爱

的小狗时,我和我的一位联合创始人

呆在那里 我们的

网站

好几天没电了,

温度会降到 -10

冰点,这是我们唯一的供水 我们

花了几天时间试图以

某种方式管理水,

因为我们等待暴风雨过去,

但这还不是全部 糟糕的是,

这是一种强制排毒,我们

被迫

呆在室内,我们被赶回

过去,

在如此极端的逆境中无法做任何工作,

我终于找到了我来寻求的平静,

我意识到

呆在野外

是你别无选择,只能

在大自然中完全放弃你的感官,老实说,

随着时间的流逝,我的大脑仍然会

找到让我回到我的城市生活方式的方法

笔记本电脑上的工作时间 少

在网上看无数的电视剧电影

在社交媒体上无休止地滚动

通常的东西,

但我已经感受到那一刻的清晰

并开始寻找更多的方式来

体验它对

我有利的一件事

是因为我

能够在一个 偏远的位置

自动减少了很多分心的事情,

例如

我不必每天开车上班

我不能出去吃饭、聚会

或去剧院或商场,这

让我有更多的时间 我用我自己

来消除我脑海

中发生的事情

和我在外面看到的宁静之间的界限

开始进行短途徒步旅行以探索

我周围的丛林

我阅读有关正念冥想的书

并练习我

在荒野中学到的东西

我试图从我的相机镜头中看到美丽

到捕捉 再次

感受到我通过它所感受到的运动和情感我

以一种惊奇和敬畏的感觉凝视着星夜,

我花了将近两年的时间才

搬到山上

,找到了完美的心理平衡

,感觉更加专注和

清醒

我 意识到真正的改变必须

来自内部,

但老实说,

如果我没有这个

机会

让我的感官完全沉浸在

大自然中,

这是一个非常简单的想法,通过清除

所有城市杂乱的

身心干扰

能够清除我

头脑

中的杂乱,在山上只是把我

推出了我的舒适区

,这给了我这个新的视角,

并且有大量的研究证明

英国的科学家们从

超过 140 项研究中收集了证据 2.9 亿

人,并证明大自然对人类的健康益处

与大自然联系增加了我们的

智力

,你可以清楚地看到它也让你

莫名其妙 重新能够

从生物学上处理压力和焦虑,

我们与

自然相处比使用更多技术更好,

这就是为什么在公园里散步

肯定

会让你感觉比一个小时

instagram 或 facebook 做得更好,

请理解我 我不是说你

要离开

一切去丛林,但

无论你身在何处,你都可以尝试的东西很少

我会做一个小实验我会播放一个

小片段

,我想让你想象 这

是什么

声音 它是鸟还是昆虫

井 这实际上是一个技巧问题,

因为这是几乎随处可见的最常见松鼠的声音

你是否

真的尝试过聆听

屋外鸟类和动物的声音

试着弄清楚

它们是什么物种它们是什么颜色它们

什么种类它们

说找到你内心的寂静和平静

试着通过所有的寂静

去倾听并寻求外面的

寂静所以如果你

下次出去时,

您可以完全

沉浸在大自然中

您可以自己照顾的植物

种植一些草药 完全在大自然中花一些时间

即使是周末计划

逃到野外

你甚至可以来我家

我们需要停止陷入这个

无休止的循环

甚至不是新的社交媒体和新闻

你知道你可以删除你的

instagram并

在需要时重新安装它我一直这样做

它是多么的免费令人惊讶我把

我的whatsapp隐藏

在我的腹肌深处 我的眼睛无法

转动它关闭了所有通知

,我只有在有

时间的时候才使用

这些应用程序这些应用程序旨在

在我们生活的时代引起您的注意我们

有一千个理由

感到 更焦虑,但如果有一

件事我可以肯定地说,如果

你正在寻找一个平静的心灵,

首先要

消除你的思想

与身体和自然之间的界限,我

希望这有助于你成为更多的你

将你的精神收音机调到恰到好处的

频率

,这正是这个运动的

重点
