#shinrinyoku = forest bathing or nature therapy

Humans were born in nature and nature is therefore where we should be. The fact that trees are cut down, that untouched areas become cities with buildings and streets and less green spaces, is a threat to our well-being.

I am not saying this to sound *woke* or "too hippie", I am saying this because it is the truth. We are meant to touch the ground with our feet, to see the color green, to breathe fresh air, to walk around in forests, to swim in oceans. We are NOT meant to get stuck in dusty rooms being stressed and working our asses off. We are meant to be in nature, the end.

I'm thinking this book 👆🏽 could change the world. Shinrin-yoku by Dr Qing Li is a wonderful colorful book full of amazing facts about what nature does to us. And it really isn't rocket science - of course we feel good in a place we are meant to be in. However, it is easier said than done in today's world. When we are pushed further away from our natural home (for example when forests are cut down, when properties are built in untouched areas, when large companies take over land to make money from it), nature suddenly becomes something we don't see every day.

With street lights on in the night, it can prevent us from seeing the stars and the moon. When cities are noisy, it gets really hard to ever experience total silence, which is something nature could give us. A few years ago I experienced a completely 100% natural night in the archipelago - no lights whatsoever. I hadn't seen anything like that for years after living in Turku my whole life. In fact, way too many Americans have never seen the Milky Way - because of light pollution.

The lack of contact with nature is a serious issue. Being in nature has been proved to be an amazing cure to depression, burnout, anxiety and stress. Touching the grass or a tree can calm you down. Being in a quiet place not having to react to anything (like we do at work for example) is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT for us but nothing that is talked about that much.

Ad for @falkabutik - EVERYTHING IS STILL ON SALE -

Right now, this feels very important to say: - No

Right now, this feels very important to say:

- No influencer or activist is allowed to manipulate me or make me feel bad for having a certain opinion or not agreeing with someone, I can have my own opinions even if they are unpopular. Unpopular opinions are OKAY

- Being super skinny or fit is not what makes a person happy and will never be the solution

- Body size doesn't affect your value in any way

- It is OK to be angry, to not like everyone, to think people are annoying and it's even OK to tell a friend that you don't like someone else: you do not need to be a people pleaser or an angel or act as if you just love everyone BECAUSE YOU DON'T

- There is no such thing as a "must have" in your wardrobe (lol?): what you wear does not define you

- What you work with or how much money you have does NOT DEFINE YOU and not working at all or having any money at all does not define you either

- Absolutely no one's opinion about you matters as long as you accept yourself

- There is seriously no right way of living life. Have kids or don't. Eat healthy or don't. Fall asleep in front of the TV or don't. Seriously stop worrying about how things "should" be - there is no right way to be human. Just don't kill, rape or abuse.

- It's OK to change direction and give up on dreams. This is why I will be closing my company and Falkabutik this summer. Don't hang on to what doesn't serve you anymore.

This is all I will be thinking about this summer and unless it's about work, I'm continuing my semi-break from Instagram. Enjoy the sun ☀️ or not :p do whatever you want lol
