GET OUT THERE. You don't Know What You Are MISSING. #ULOG #17

---

So while taking my walk today, I met some new friends which I was not expecting at all.
I was just going to for my normal daily 1hr fitness walk through a trail, listening to my music, getting fit,when out of the sudden I was stopped by some of my new friends coming towards me.




Mommo duck with her baby ducks crossing the bridge, so that she can get her babies into the water.

Right away I stopped what I was doing and I had to move back to let my new friends come through. Even if I was in a hurry, which I was because I was running a bit late on my schedule (our daily routine life where everything is on schedule) these little baby ducks and their momma were taking their time walking across the bridge into the creek and I found myself completely amazed and in love with these beautiful animals and nature and the thing is just a second ago, I was in a hurry, not even really paying any attention to what is going on around me, because I was running late and I was on a mission and concentrating on my fitness and listening to my music and really disconnecting from the real world and if these ducks were somewhere else like on the water or on the grass where I could just walk fast by it, I would definitely do just that, not really paying any attention to the real world by just living in my little world.

And out of the sudden, I didn't feel the merge to hurry or worried, but I felt this peace, joy, and happiness inside of me, realizing how important it is to slow down and stop and look around us and really enjoy and appreciate the beautiful world we live in. Listen to the birds, feel and listen to the wind, to the water running down the creek, smell the flowers, appreciate everyone and everything around you.

The quicker we realize that nature is a huge part of us and we need it in our lives and that this is the only true, natural and the best medicine we have in our lives, the quicker we will heal and see joy and peace in our lives.


I have always loved nature and that is the only real thing that really relaxes me and gives me peace, but sometimes I don't really pay attention to it, like today, because I was in a hurry and I had so many things and worries on my head and in just those 5 minutes all those worried and stress didn't matter anymore. They all vanished and it really made me realize that this is not how we are supposed to live. Ignoring everything and anything around us because we are in a hurry chasing the dollar or whatever we are chasing.
Not having the time to talk to someone or look them in the eye, because we are always, I mean always in a hurry or busy running our lives, not caring about anyone or anything because we are on our daily routine schedule, running like robots.
OK. Sorry guys, I'm losing myself again.


Anyways. I learned a great lesson today, and I thought I'll share it with you.
We are one with nature. We can't survive without it. This is our true and real medicine to our physical and mental well being. We just don't realize it because we lost ourselves in wanting and loving the material things, the material world.

Two minutes after being so relaxed and destressed I found these beautiful guys swimming in this small pond of the Japanese garden, where I spend even more time, just watching and enjoying the fish swimming listening to the birds.
No synthetical medicine can do what nature can do. Amazing and it only took 5-10 minutes.







Hope you enjoyed this short video of the new friends I met today and wish you guys a very beautiful and peaceful day.
Love @joalvarez.
