Nature has a huge impact on our well-being. People who live closer to nature are blessed. But I know how difficult it is sometimes to feel/put the intention to feel the blessings. Just like us, getting all the modern facilities at home. We never feel it's also a blessing.
Anyway, what I was trying to say is; people like us who live far away from nature, in a megacity feels the necessity of nature most. Or maybe it's just me.
My wellbeing is too connected with nature. Believe me, I tried many times to distract myself, get into the city vibes so I can feel alive just like any other city dweller.
But deep inside, there was something missing and I always felt that.
It's the green that I was missing.
I'm home now, after many days for many many days. It's been over a decade I leave my parent's house. Since then I'm living in Dhaka- the megacity. And I have never had the opportunity to spend much time in my hometown because of this since then. So you can say, I'm living far away from nature for over a decade.
It's hard for me in every way. But this is life.
But now as I'm spending this lockdown time with my Mom and in-laws, both of the houses are full of green. And I'm taking the full opportunity of it.
I'm walking over the grass my mom got on her terrace, I'm smelling many flowers including wildflowers, I'm picking flowers to decore our home, I'm collecting fresh vegetables and fruits from the garden, I'm using herbs to make my tea or home remedies, I'm spending hours in our garden.
This list is long...
And I'm so blessed to have this opportunity.
I can feel there's something deep inside me that is improving. I'm living stress-free and I'm always like in a happy mood. It's impacting my overall well-being so much.
Just not because I was stuck in our home but because of some life complication, I was not feeling good for a long time. I also said/expressed it many times here. But now, I can say it loudly that I'm healing. My family is part of this process for sure. But I can't ignore mentioning how nature plays a big part in this journey.
Probably I will stay here for another 15 days. Yes, I extended my stay because I'm not ready yet to let my happy feeling go. And I think another few days will help me more to feel better, to heal, and be happy for a long time.
Nature is working like a dose of healing medicine to me and I want to take it regularly.
