Mind Detox

Every time I need to detox from the world I go to the beach. I go there and empty my head of everything while I look into the ocean. You see, my favorite color is blue, for me blue is a happy color not like the rest of the world that says blue represents depression. So, every time I see blue I feel happy and calm and looking at the beautiful blue colors of the Atlantic ocean always brings peace to my mind.

It doesn't matter the heat, I just go there and watch the waves playing with the rocks and the shore. I listen to their soothing song mixed with the wind that always mess up my hair while the sun kiss my cheeks while the birds show me their diving skills. I stand there being one with the nature, connecting with it, feeling it, breathing it, loving it! The entire world disappears for a moment and it just me and the ocean.

Then I grab my camera or my phone and start taking pics of everything I see to make that memory last forever. I left the place feeling renewed, energized, happy and at peace. Then, when I see the pics and start editing them I can re-live everything in my mind and it always brings a smile to my face. Nothing like connecting with mother nature to feel happy and calm!

Oh man, that is stunning. No wonder you're there every day.

Is beautiful, right?

It's amazing blacklux, the blue is the most beautiful color!

human world is toxic, thats for sure.

i relax myself erasing watermarks from the pictures that dont belong me :) or just read books. or take a shower or bath. or both. sometimes I beat my fists on the wall, sometimes I open the faucet and immerse my hands in flowing water. a lot of recipes I can share with you. maybe you dont need any of them, as you have a beach at the walking distance!

hehehe I like to bake and drawing too to detox my mind

For me, I like the water for that too.

Every Wednesday, in the middle of a hectic work week, I escape to the lake to do some sailing with the guys. Even the drive there can be a pain.

Once we shove off the dock and hit the waves, I get to disconnect from the issues at the same time as the land.

Another good detox is jiu jitsu. You get onto the mats, start concentrating on the technique and breathing, and your body takes over your mind as you grapple and fight, there really is no room for the petty problems of the day.

Water have a miraculous power to make us forget all! I'm not good with martial arts... I used to play tennis, tho!

Ahhhhh.... deap breath looking at these and it works for me too!

I go to the water, the ocean, to a park filled with trees... The mountains if i could :)

Nature is the best to calm the mind!
