FOREST EDGE NATURE LOVER’S RETREAT YOUR NUMBER ONE WELLNESS RETREAT
What is a wellness retreat and how can this improve your life you may ask?
We live a very fast-paced life. Were we get pulled this way and that way, we are always busy in between, work, family and just life in general. As humans, we rarely take the time out to just be. Our minds are always filled with planning our next move, how to live a sustainable life, how to keep our families safe and reaching success all around, as mentioned in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
It is easy for us to get all wrapped up in the routines we follow, and move along like a well-oiled machine, and neglect ourselves in the process. Our own wellbeing and relaxation often take a back seat, even our hobbies become intense with as it often comes with its own challenges and goals. We are glued to technology and binge-watching TV or being a couch potato with a glass of wine after a long day or week is the only way most people find the time to relax.
Attending wellness retreats like the ones we have offered at Forest Edge Nature Lover’s Retreat, on many different levels offers one the opportunity to learn new ways one can apply some mindfulness in our very own lives each and every day. One cannot pour from an empty cup and it has become essential in the stressful times we live in, the last year speaks for itself, we need to take time to ourselves to just exhale and recharge so we can cope better with our challenges and whatever life may throw at us.
