Episode Synopsis "S1 E22 - connecting with nature when you don’t want to go outside!"

I woke up this morning with that feeling of ickiness that I feel when it’s grey, cold and wet outside.  Feeling somewhat 'self-judgy' at not wanting to venture out into the drizzle, I headed to my new 'illustrated journal' for solace.  Today's diminutive episode is about me surprising myself at the quality of my nature connection through this new daily journal - and I wanted to share it with you, because sometimes - when you really don't want to go out but still want to connect with nature - you might find that this really does the trick! I have a few prompts below to start you off if you would like to try it.  All you need is pen and paper - no expensive art supplies required. Add colour if you want to - use what you have and see how you feel. 7 days of Prompts * birds I see from my window * different leaves I have seen today while out and about * interesting seeds and seed heads * how many kinds of wild berries spotted recently * things I like to make with foraged fruit * different types of tree bark (can you spot at least 3 different barks) * the spiders in your kitchen (or wherever they congregate ;-)) Let me know what you think, do you journal? Will you give it a go now?
