This World Earth Day, let's immerse in the process of reimagining and restoring. As we are lost in the haze of traffic and concrete jungles cover the sky, World Earth Day is a reminder to celebrate and protect our nature. The diversity and fragility of Earth require us to get in touch with nature time and time again for this annual celebration. So, here's a curation of ways to embrace Mother Nature and unveil its benefits. From feeling the moist grass to watching forest trees rustle, this World Earth Day, get ready to witness our planet's therapeutic effects.
A Barefoot Walk On Grass
Connecting your skin with the Earth is believed to be grounding and relaxing. Walking barefoot on the grass early in the morning, when the dew is still fresh and the sunlight is new, is the best way to start your day. This act of reviving the love for nature is empowering and improves physical and mental well-being.
A Day By The River
If we were to describe a visual poem, it would be about the song of a babbling brook, the beauty of birds following, and the serenity of green, long trees surrounding it. Studies have shown that people who spend more time around water have greater happiness, better health, and less mental melancholy. The power of the blue sky and freshwater is the ultimate healer.
Dancing In The Rain
If you ever wondered what it must feel like to dance with nature, twirling in the rain can help you discover it. It's a self-discovery experience to feel the raindrops on your skin and the wind in your hair, a liberating experience that is playful, freeing, and appeases curiosity. The moisture in the air and the sound and feel of rain help release the happy hormones in our bodies.
Flower Picking Walk
Picture this: a park full of flowers, a path followed by butterflies, and a bench with a picturesque setting, cottage core much? Well, that's what World Earth Day can look like. Nothing can beat the pleasure of creating peculiar bouquets in a colourful location. It smells floral, clean, and rejuvenating, while it portrays a sweet play between humans and nature.
Birdwatching
It feels cheery and exhilarating to dedicate a day to birdwatching. The unique calls and songs of every bird, and observing birds in their natural habitat is a pure form of recreational activity. It is an act of embracing the species that nature provided to make our world melodious.
Stargazing
Stargazing is your thing if you believe in the magic of nature and the vastness of the universe. Looking at stars long enough feels like a train of enlightening thoughts running through you. This celestial way of escaping the daily hustle-bustle allows us to spot captivating constellations while making us kinder and more compassionate.
Playing With Clay
When art means nature, it allows you to play with clay. It's experimental, simple, comforting, and therapeutic because, believe it or not, one can never be too old to play with clay. Clay can act as a relaxant to tap into the creative side and to relax in the monotony of daily life.
Gardening
The web of life is more than maintaining a livelihood and household chores. It's about a voyage of spiritual renewal and mood enhancement. Gardening not only cleans the air and soil but is also a great way of reducing everyday stress. After all, it's believed to be good for the soul and morale as well. So, what's better than gardening on World Earth Day and beyond?
How to protect the environment
On World Earth Day, amidst the bustling chaos of modern life, there's a gentle call to return to our roots, to reconnect with the natural world that sustains us. It's a journey not just for the soul but also for the future of our planet. As we revel in the beauty of nature, it's imperative to remember that our actions today shape the environment for generations to come. This Earth Day, let us not only revel in nature's splendour but also commit to protecting it.
In our pursuit of reconnecting with nature, we often find ourselves at a crossroads where enjoyment meets responsibility. However, these paths need not be divergent. Liza Quddos, Director of Corporate Communications at Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts, shares invaluable insights on how we can seamlessly integrate sustainability into our lifestyles while indulging in the beauty of our planet.
“Try switching to a whole food plant-based lifestyle beginning with at least one day a week," advises Quddos. Quddos emphasizes the power of dietary choices in fostering environmental stewardship. By embracing a whole food plant-based lifestyle, even if it's just one day a week, individuals can significantly reduce their ecological footprint. At Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts, this commitment to sustainability is exemplified through the introduction of plant-based menus across their properties. These menus not only tantalize the taste buds but also celebrate the richness of locally sourced produce, minimizing food waste and supporting local economies.
Furthermore, the transition from happy hour to Healthy Hour embodies a holistic approach to wellness and sustainability. By offering guests a selection of rejuvenating smoothies and juices, Cenizaro Hotels & Resorts not only caters to diverse preferences but also promotes the consumption of locally sourced ingredients. This shift not only enhances guest experiences but also aligns with the evolving preferences of mindful travellers, including the rising trend of sober-curious individuals."Healthy Hour concoctions will feature an array of smoothies and juices to both quench thirst and replenish the soul, made up of nourishing ingredients such as chia seeds ginger, Matcha powder and turmeric," adds Quddos.
Lastly, she emphasises travelling with a purpose. As we celebrate World Earth Day and embark on our journey of reconnecting with nature, let us heed Quddos' wisdom and embrace sustainable practices in every aspect of our lives. Whether through conscious dietary choices, mindful consumption, or responsible travel, each of us has the power to protect the environment and preserve the beauty of our planet for future generations. In this collective endeavour lies the promise of a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
