Welcome to the 30 day
CONNECTION TO NATURE challenge.
What is the 30 connection to nature challenge?
The 30-day connection to nature challenge is for people wanting to feel more connected to the earth. It is a daily self-care, self-love thing you can do. It also helps with stress and other emotional needs, each day it can have a benefit to yourself, others around you, and our environment! Each item that you do or create yourself has a unique way to add value and benefits to your life.
How do I participate in the 30-day connection to nature challenge?
You devote 15-30 minutes a day to connect with nature. You aim to be outside but that is not always possible so get creative with ways to connect to nature. Once you devote your time to do this DAILY you can post on social media your daily connection to nature. List what you learn and or take a photo and share your experience. Please help me out by using #gnarlyroots #connect2earth when posting on social media. That is it, just do it!
What will this challenge do for me?
It's really hard to say what you will gain from this as everyone's experiences are different. Some of the common basic things that you will gain overall being outside in nature and connecting to nature have show signs to better health by lowering stress and blood pressure. Making up your connections to the earth, you gain the values that will be different from using one already developed. I list a handful of daily connections and their benefits that come with them. Feel free to browse the suggested ones given or to craft something up for yourself. So, you will gain a lot of personal growth items and connections. Who knows you might even learn to practice patience as a normal daily thing. You might learn something else about yourself that you are hiding from yourself.
The Rules:
- Devote 15+ minutes a day to play, observe, create or work in nature. Remember nature isn't always outdoors take a houseplant for example.
- Do something with your senses either watch, play, put together, take apart do something with something in nature for 15 minutes. Try to avoid "Chores" If that's all you got take it but take note of something pay more attention to the task at hand!!! Check out some suggestions here!
- Journal your experience so you can track your growth.
- Share your experience with friends family and whomever you want to! Using social media? Please use #gnarlyroots #connect2earth #Dailyconnectiontonature
Heck, I even have a hard time doing things "Daily" so how many days did it take you to complete the 30 day challenge?
To be 100% transparent it took me about 2-3 months. It was great for the first 15 days. but then LIFE happened again. So don't beat yourself up if you can't do this daily. It's just a Goal!!! not a rule! Post when you can!
