🌿 Wellness Wednesday Tip #21 🌿

Put Your Bare Hands on Something Alive
(Touch the Earth that made you.)

Nature is not a backdrop.
It’s a co-regulator. A healer. A remembering.

You weren’t made to spend your life touching plastic, typing on screens, or swiping on glass.
You were made to touch life — raw, breathing, unprocessed.

So this week’s tip is simple:
Put your bare hands on something alive.

Here’s the tip:
Take a few minutes today to touch something natural — skin to skin.
→ A tree
→ A leaf
→ The soil
→ Running water
→ A flower
→ An animal
→ Even your own heart

Hold it. Feel it.
Let your nervous system soften.

Why it matters:

• Grounds you in the present moment

• Lowers stress hormones like cortisol

• Activates your parasympathetic “rest and digest” response

• Supports immune function and mood balance

• Rebuilds your connection to the Earth — and to your body

The Earth is always speaking.
You just have to reach out and feel it.

Try it today:
Don’t just walk by the tree.
Touch it. Let it touch you back.

Reflection:
What happens to your nervous system when you put your skin on the skin of the world?

Yours in wild connection,
