Island things 🌴 Did you know spending time by the ocean actually supports your body and mind? 🌊☀️ Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D - something I was always low in Canada. I mean obviously being a hijabi too doesn’t help 😂Time in nature can help lower stress and calm the nervous system, and of course the calm sound of the ocean waves - are so relaxing. Walking barefoot in the sand is soooo grounding, helping you slow down and feel more present. And swimming or simply moving through ocean water adds gentle movement and that incredible feeling of being completely immersed in nature. Sunshine. Salt water. Sand beneath my feet. Fresh air. Less noise.🥹 Sometimes what feels like “healing” is simply giving your nervous system the environment it desperately needed. 🌊🤍 And I definitely needed this.
