Rainforest - soother to the soul

In Australia, Covid-19 is coming to an end. With that end comes a new beginning.

A new way of doing business, where we are mindful of how we treat our staff, our customers, and our family. We are all practising ‘social distancing’ because we don’t want to go into lock down again.

With this return to our busy lives, though, comes stress as we pick up the pieces of our relationships with our customers and the provision of services to them. There are the challenges of sourcing products because our international borders are still closed.

What happens when you rely on planes to bring your products in?

There is nothing to sell.

What happens when there are no suppliers in Australia to purchase your product?

There is nothing to sell.

When you have nothing to sell what happens?

There is no money generated so that you and your employees have money to live.

When there is no money to live a basic life style, what happens?

These scenarios are beyond your control, but they have a direct effect on you and your family.

Stress begins to build as you become anxious. You can’t provide for your family.

Thank goodness for JobKeeper. JobKeeper enables you to pay your employees something. It may not be their usual weekly wage, but it helps. There is nothing else you can do.

Be kind to yourself! Take time out in your local rainforest. It’s time to connect at a deep level with nature. Absorb than primal atmosphere through all pores of your body. Let your whole body breathe and relax.

Focus only on what you can hear.

The birds: hear their call. They aren’t worried about business. They are connecting with their own species. The splash of the water fall as it comes over the rocks. Let it wash over you and take the day’s stress with it.

Smell the decomposing vegetation. Breathe the fresh earthy smell into your lungs and immediately feel the benefits of it quietening your mind.

Let your taste buds be still and feel the natural flow of moisture in your mouth. All is well with the rainforest and all is well with you.

Open your eyes and see the rich green color of the vegetation, surrounding you with its peace. You are not alone, see the birds flying, and animals scratching in the damp forest floor.

Feel the firmness of the ground under your feet. This is where you belong. Your soul is open to receive the love and beauty of nature.

You are nature and nature is you. Open your heart to the natural beauty and close your mind to the worries of yesterday. Today you are connected to a force so strong it cannot be broken.

Visit often with the soother of your soul. Stress is of no value to you. Peace is of great value.

Your business and everyone in it will thank you for the connection, for you will come back invigorated, emotionally strong, your creative well full and a power within you so strong you will find the solutions to all of your problems much quicker than you could ever believe.

The power of the rainforest is the soother to your soul; visit often. Your soul will thank you.
