Creating a garden space can be a form of selfcare from "summary" of The Well Gardened Mind by Sue Stuart-Smith
In our fast-paced world, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life. We are constantly bombarded with information, surrounded by noise, and pressured to perform at a high level. In the midst of this chaos, finding a way to care for ourselves is essential. Creating a garden space can be a powerful form of self-care. It provides an opportunity to escape from the stresses of daily life and connect with nature. In a garden, we can slow down, breathe deeply, and engage our senses in a way that is restorative and healing. The act of tending to plants, nurturing them, and watching them grow can bring a sense of peace and fulfillment that is hard to find elsewhere. Gardening can also be a form of therapy. It allows us to express our creativity, cultivate patience, and practice mindfulness. By focusing on the present moment and the tasks at hand, we can quiet the chatter of our minds and find a sense of calm. The physical act of digging, planting, and weeding can be a way to release pent-up energy and tension, allowing us to feel more grounded and centered. Moreover, a garden is a place of beauty and wonder. It is a sanctuary where we can escape from the ugliness and chaos of the world and find solace in the simple pleasures of nature. The colors, scents, and textures of a garden can soothe our souls and uplift our spirits, reminding us of the beauty that exists in the world.- Creating a garden space is more than just a hobby or a pastime - it is a form of self-care that nourishes our bodies, minds, and spirits. It is a way to cultivate well-being, find balance, and create a sense of peace in our lives. So, whether you have a small balcony, a backyard, or a community plot, consider planting a garden and see how it can transform your relationship with yourself and the world around you.
