Nature and Intrinsicity

I think we should talk a little bit about nature. A friend of mine always tells me ‘whenever you have a problem, tell it to the water’ and I’ve been listening to her recently too. After watching a video, I saw that this was scientifically proven. The most creative ideas come to our minds while we are in the shower. Taking a break and relaxing is very helpful in improving our thinking and creativity. As human beings, we can all get depressed from time to time and need some break.

As a computer engineering student, I feel this from time to time, and I said, why don’t I make this an article? One of the keywords I acquired recently is productivity. I wanted to internalize a little more and take a break from my social life. It’s a logical move to realize my own potential and come back strong. During this time I am learning. Staying at home helped me regain my motivation and focus. I can say that resting during the semester break was very good on top of the hustle and bustle of life. There is nothing more comforting than not trying to get anywhere but still working every day with the same motivation. It does not press you and helps you to progress towards your goals.

However, I realized that I haven’t left the house for a week, which is a long time for me. Today, I realized that I need to go outside and do different activities. I’m going out tomorrow night and going camping out of town for the next few days. Being in touch with nature is a great blessing for me. I love it so much and I can find myself at peace in it like never before. Nietzsche said: “The reason we feel so relaxed and joyful when we are alone with nature is because nature has no opinion of us.” and I totally agree with this idea. Long car trips, nice music and of course, continuing to produce by following the road on my MacBook I took with me… could there be anything more enjoyable for me?

Life is a dance floor and life is too short to listen to boring musics.

In a world where we are so involved with technology, we should not forget where we came from and to feel nature. Just a piece of advice for all of us to relax. This text; If you are one of those who forget to breathe while chasing something, it was written to say ‘do yourself a favor’. Whatever you are worried about will be okay, what you said cannot be solved will be solved one by one. In this process, don’t forget to smile a lot, make affirmations, get your sleep and drink water.

Thank Universe for everything.

Just focus on the important stuff, let the rest flow. Trust the flow and your guts. Life is not a run, it’s a marathon, and at the end of the road, whoever finishes the marathon wins, not the short run. See the most beautiful view, listen to the most beautiful songs, have the most beautiful smile, drink the best coffee while you still have time. Remember, the best thing is always the thing you do yourself. Do not disregard what you have done so far, do not let greed blind you. As we grow and begin to understand ourselves better, we become even wiser. The reason why life is so beautiful is because we live it.

The things you worry about are often not the problem itself, but the way your mind interprets it.

Like I said in a few days, I’m going camping and giving myself more time to listen to myself. The things I experience on each journey I embark on improve me and enable me to look at life from a different perspective. Wish me luck in getting what I need on this journey, and you do the same. Because my heart is full of hope.

Thanks for your time, take care of yourself.
