April 21st isn’t just my brother Nick’s birthday, it’s also a day dedicated to something incredibly close to my heart: Gardening For Mental Health Day. π Join me as I share my journey of finding solace and peace amidst loss through the powerful act of gardening.
After the devastating loss of my two brothers to suicide, I turned to gardening as a form of therapy and healing. πΈπΌ It became more than just a hobby; it became a lifeline, a sanctuary where I could connect with nature and find solace in its beauty.
In my latest reel, I delve into the essence of gardening and its profound impact on mental health. πβ¨ Exploring the Japanese concept of Ma (ι), I’ll show you how observing pauses in time and space allows us to appreciate nature’s rhythm and find inner peace.
This April 21st, let’s come together to celebrate #GardeningForMentalHealthDay. πΏπ Share your own stories of how gardening has transformed your mental health using the hashtag, and let’s inspire each other to nurture our minds and souls amidst the beauty of nature. π»π±
