During times that were hard for me, and even now as I walk a lot to process everything, I make a conscious effort to perceive my surroundings. I find joy in the little things, there is so much to discover - the array of colors, variety of plants, and multitude of animals. By doing this, I bring myself back into the present moment and allow my thoughts to become quiet, almost like a meditation in nature.

If something repeatedly crosses my path, I interpret it as a sign. During difficult times, I have encountered butterflies frequently. I remember a walk in the forest in the fall when a butterfly suddenly flew by. It was exactly the message I needed to be reminded of that day: Butterflies are, among other things, a reminder of lightness.
