The number one regret (fear) statement that those aging ask is “What if my family finds out………..”
Fill in the blank with, I did, I spent, I behaved………
What is good advice for younger folk? Ask yourself this question: Is my behavior/decision going to leave me filled with remorse and regret if my kids or grandchildren hear about it?

If wo/man takes time to consider inner values and share them with a willingness to hear what is important to others, the solutions will more likely include both of set needs. By listening first, before solutions, the results will be more open and expansive versus closed and limiting. (*mirroring mindfulness) This will be the change that will shift the planet to green as this behavior could replace conflict. It may be surprising to hear that there is no conflict at the level of values, only in the solutions and strategies.

Personal connection to the environment is reflected in personal surroundings at home, work and play. It is experienced in our immediate surroundings by the decisions made and personal actions taken. These decisions and actions are experienced in the present and future and impact the quality of life, lifestyles and relationships.
Try answering these easy questions:
1. Begin by considering what is meaningful to you in nature and make a list of qualities that reflect this. Some examples might be; space, order, beauty, interesting, fun and quiet.
2. Now consider how your home reflects these qualities. Ask yourself if your personal space reflects the same qualities that you enjoy in nature?
3. Next consider the surroundings at work or school with the same inner question of whether it has the qualities you enjoy in nature.
4. Once you have considered your structural support take time to consider what you do for play. Do you play in nature? Where do you spend your time? What do you focus your attention on? Are you making any time to enjoy your natural environment?
Take time to integrate your responses
Our environment models and reflects back to us the patterns of our reactive behavior in and out of balance. Our space defines us and tells our stories! This includes; homes, offices, schools, countries and the natural environment.

Mindfulness in Nature & Mindfulness for Nature (can you see tanker in background?)
Mindfulness in nature is an outdoor experience and mindfulness for nature, is how we care for the environment. Healthier decisions for the environment will be made when there is a direct connection with nature. Inside Awareness has the perspective that wo/man will be more willing to take care of the planet collectively once they individually connect to their inner values and clearly understand what is meaningful to them in relationship to nature. If one is not aware of what is meaningful for them in their environment, it is a disconnection and the first step to an imbalance in caring for it.
