Natural Nourishment
N in the ethical journey is about nurturing yourself through nature, specifically the mental and physical health (immune system!) benefits of spending time in it. They are well documented. Sam has three suggestions:
1. Spend at least a couple hours a week enjoying a natural area with all your senses.
2. Learn to identify plant and animal species in your area. Personal note: I'm not a "there's an app for that" kind of person, but this is something good technology can really help with. You can be a citizen scientist submitting observations to iNaturalist. Apps like Merlin make it much easier (and fun!) to identify birds by song.
3. Go for a brisk walk within two hours of rising/daylight every day - among other benefits this sets your circadian rhythm so you can sleep well at night.
I'm already doing #2 to some extent, so I'm going to focus on #3, which can be challenging as my early morning hours are already pretty full, but since I don't commute to work anymore (I used to get most of my exercise through long cycles to and from work everyday) I think it would be a very good idea for me to do this - I will try to work it into my schedule to get the day off to a good start.
