Yeah, it really was this pretty tonight. I'm so thankful there are still little corners of the world where you can completely get lost, forget the stresses of life, and do nothing more than notice how green the grass shines with the last light of the sun. We are all interconnected, & as such, we must love and support each other. --->One thing I've learned... Run to the LIGHT. Run towards nature that inspires. Run towards wise people who can teach. Run towards laughter. Run towards love.💛 #running #naturephotography #runninghigh #theswitchbackapproach #lifelessons #mindfulness #santabarbara (at Jesusita Trail)

My FORMULA for increasing life satisfaction by up to 80%-->⠀ ⠀ Pausing. ⠀ Being mindful. ⠀ Seeing the beauty in front of us.⠀ Being grateful. ⠀ Realizing we are all damn lucky.⠀ ⠀ Notice that I'm not saying that all my life problems have disappeared. They are still there. But let me ask this: ⠀ "Would you rather tackle those problems from a mindset of gratitude and positivity? Or from a place of feeling bummed out all the time?" ⠀ ⠀ The answer should seem obvi, but we don't pause to appreciate as much as we likely could/should. I'm in it with you. ⠀ ⠀ My challenge to whomever wants to join me, not just for Thanksgiving in the US, but for a daily practice: ⠀ ⠀ --> Write down everything that went AWESOME today, and share it in the comments below. Let's start a freaking GRATITUDE revolution ya'll. #grateful #youareawesome #personaldevelopment #selfhelp #theswitchbackapproach #mindfulness (at Santa Barbara, California)

I run to this wise, magical tree when I need clarity. It's one of my spots. The mind needs calming after hustling all day. The breeding ground for greater execution is found in calm, the magnificence of nature. It gives hints. It's patient. This tree grew slow to become mighty. Such an iconic symbol of greatness. #mindfulness #nature #theswitchbackapproach #patience (at Santa Barbara, California)

CLARITY & Nature. Check this out: The human brain demands 20 percent of all the energy the body produces, and this requirement increases by 5 to 10 percent when you’re focused on a mental challenge. ⠀ ⠀ When the body is at rest, however, the brain doesn’t cease activity—at least not in the way you expect. ⠀ When people are in a daydreaming state—something more easily achieved in nature’s serene environment—their brains settle into what scientists call the default mode network. It basically helps us have the highest form of self realization. #natureheals #foresttherapy #treehugger #utahisrad #trailrunning #adventures #theswitchbackapproach #mountains #brockcannon #utah (at Summit Park, Utah)
