With patience, anyone can become a tree listener. By following the steps below, you can begin your listening journey.
-Furber
People spend their lives searching for the things that they think will make them happy.
‘When I get a new car…’
‘When I finish my exams…’
‘When I have more money…’
‘…then I’ll be happy’
When we think like this, happiness gets stuck in the future.
And sometimes it can feel very far away.
However, you already have everything you need to experience joy in the present moment.
Remember the last time you were happy. Feel into that moment. Feel those sensations in your body.
Joy comes from within us.
And the more we can connect to ourselves with love and kindness, the more we connect with our own inner joy.
-Furber
The world can be very overwhelming, and when it feels like we’re falling behind, it’s easy for us to get angry with ourselves.
Acknowledge when you are angry and take a deep breath.
Be patient with yourself.
When the world is hurting you, treat yourself with kindness and compassion.
Meditate,
Read,
Make art,
Hydrate,
Connect to your loved ones,
Walk through the woods.
Bring yourself back into balance.
Take whatever time you need to recover, but most importantly, don’t let the weight of the world take away your light.
-Furber
