Do you ever think: “Nothing matters” or “I’m doing it all wrong” or “What’s the point?” Sometimes I think that too.
Then I go outside.

@Annie I felt the same last weekend before going on a hike with my friend for her birthday. The outdoors will save us.

@Annie Yep and yep. It’s amazing how it puts my problems into perspective.

@Annie yup! The sunshine and fresh air is SUCH a reset. I wish I had a balcony

@Annie Yes, absolutely. Being out under the stars also helps me remember the bigger perspective.

@Annie You know you have a mental problem if being in nature doesn’t help lift your spirit. Trees and their smells and pheromones seem to calm a busy mind, especially the conifer kind of tree. Think non-artificial Christmas tree. No idea if there’s been rigorous research on this idea, but many seem to agree with it.

@jtr it’s good to feel insignificant sometimes.

@miguelmanalo yes! hope you get a balcony someday (i love mine!)

@Denny Forest, stars, and ocean: the magic 3 for me.

@loulesko thanks! And I would love some whiskey recommendations. email is am @ anniemueller.com or replying here works, too. thank you!

@renevanbelzen Oh that’s an interesting thought. I do think there’s got to be a benefit to being around conifers so you have green all year round.

@pimoore that’s a great way to put it. Definitely true for me. Any kind of movement outside is healing in so many ways.

@Annie just to be able to go outside right away. Seems like a dream!
