Rain rain go away, come again another day... . . Whilst staring out the window at the gloom and wet, my thoughts looping in a somewhat negative spiral, feeling unmotivated, sleepy and sure that I do not belong in this climate... . I was suddenly reminded of an @drwaynedyer quote I love... “Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change”. Right. Fine. Okay. So I started thinking about what’s awesome about the rain... - being cozy - My fire place - Getting things done inside - Reading - Being creative - Feeding the forest!! FEEDING THE FOREST! Yes the forest!!! The trees! They are so happy! You know me, I love my trees. . . I decided I needed to get out of my head and into the forest to shift my feelings about all this wet and darkness. . . What transpired was a 3 hour run/dance/frolick through the gorgeous, rain soaked, magical forests, where I allowed myself to fully surrender and get soaked to the bone. I was a ninja at first, careful to maneuver and leap across huge puddles and creeks so my shoes wouldn’t get wet. Then I finally said fuck it and became 5 years old. Stomping through puddles, squealing and singing! (Bonus to running in the forest in the rain is most don’t so you have it all to yourself!!) The smell of wet cedar, symphony of rain drops falling from the tree tops, rivers running through my sneakers, rain washing over my face... Glorious! . . I remember earlier this week while walking with my sister in the rain a man said to us... “Some people walk in the rain, others get wet”. What does this mean to you? Perspective is such a powerful tool. I’m always thankful when I have the awareness to chose it. Is there an area in your life that could use a change of scenery? Metaphorically speaking of course 😉 May we always have the capacity to dance in the rain and get drenched with life. ♥️ . . . . . . #perspective #changethewayyoulookatthings #danceintherain #getsoaked #puddlestomp #makelemonade #livelifehard #jumpforjoy #singoutloud #hugatree #changethefilter #bethebossofyourlife #smellthecedar #keepitsimple #forestwisdom #luxuriate #inthenow #youarelove (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B30Hn5Ohs2i/?igshid=1iw8uj8pj6lh2
