Nature is a great healer and I always advise getting out in nature to help with cravings, overthinking and to help you just feel better.
Imagine finding peace and clarity just by stepping outside. In this episode of 'Sober Bliss', host Gayle Macdonald chats with Nicole Gabriel from Nicki Gabriel Coaching about how connecting with nature can play a crucial role in your sobriety journey. Gayle, a seasoned coach and mentor, believes that sobriety is a profound act of self-love and self-care, and she emphasizes the importance of nature in achieving a fulfilling alcohol-free life.
Nicole, who is both a coach and psychologist, delves into the psychological and emotional perks of spending time outdoors and offers practical tips for making nature a part of your daily routine. Nicole explains that connecting with nature isn't about finding a perfect spot but rather about shifting your mindset to recognize that we are always surrounded by nature.
Whether it's a simple walk in the park or listening to the birds outside your window, these moments can help externalize your thoughts and engage your senses. This can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with cravings and overthinking. Nature also has a unique way of breaking down the barriers of perfectionism, reminding us that we are part of something larger and that it's okay not to have everything figured out.
Gayle and Nicole suggest simple ways to incorporate nature into your life, even if you're not feeling up to it. From using a nature-themed screensaver to collecting stones, these small acts can bring the outdoors closer to you. For those who can venture outside, they recommend early morning walks or finding ways to stay warm and dry during winter months. The key is to make these moments enjoyable and accessible.
By embracing the healing power of nature, you can transform your relationship with alcohol through acts of self-care and self-love. So, put on those waterproof trousers and step outside—you might just find the peace and clarity you've been seeking.
