Flower Power!

Whew! So today was a really busy day (and its still not over). I finished my business project a bit early so I'm doing the blog now.

Exciting! Tomorrow I will be doing the vlog and will try to have it posted by tomorrow night or Friday morning. Should be very exciting!

So today, with all of the projects due tomorrow and homework due and what not, it has been fairly stressful. I've just been sitting and flitting from one screen to the next, multitasking and organising and typing and editing. In the middle of frantically typing a review for Photoshop, I looked at a sprig of flowers in a tiny vase on my desk and just stopped and took a breath. That moment of just relaxing and seeing a beautiful little part of nature took away all of the panic and stress and I was better able to focus and finish 45 minutes ahead of schedule.

This makes me wonder; as humans, do we instinctively relax when we see something beautiful or when we can just stop and appreciate nature? Is this why people hike? I know that when I go hiking, my mind is completely clear and all my worry washes away. Why is this? Why does nature (in a calm state) calm us down? Even nature on a huge scale (like the ocean or a forest), a huge force we cannot be sure of and should be frightened of can calm us. The ocean is full of unknown depths and terrifying mysteries an yet we go to the beach to relax and listen to the waves. It's quite a profound concept.

Anywhos, I will be vlogging tomorrow! If anyone wants to help me with it, leave a comment or text me. Thanks!

Until tomorrow!
