Immovable objects can be beautiful...

The snow runs down to the sea. Everywhere is still. Everywhere silent. I might be the only person on the entire planet. Utter tranquillity. #nature #silence

So peaceful! This tawny field soaks up the morning sunshine, and the sheep are well insulated in the crisp, cold air. #peace #happiness

Everyone needs a bit of alone-time now and then.

We each experience the world in vastly different ways...

The sun slants through budding twigs and the snow-white dusting of blossom. Little moments of tranquillity are so valuable. #nature #happiness

In life, may there always be a summit you aspire to climb...

No person stands in the same river twice. And as I explore the secret dells and nooks of this island, no two visits are ever the same. #philosophy #nature

Sometimes, good things come from exploring an unknown path...

A fringe of foam lines the island on this blustery day, transforming the deep blues into a churning, tumbling turquoise. #nature #sea

A handsome set of shelf mushroom line this mossy branch. The look like the scaly ridges on a dragon's tale, as it sleeps in its lair. I shall quietly creep on past, so as not to wake it! #mushrooms #spring

An explosion of gorse punches me in the eye and lifts me from a reverie. What a happy sight, this meeting of yellow and blue. Not to mention the powerful scent of coconut! #flowers #spring

There's something so satisfying about an open stretch of meadow, hemmed by tracts of scrubland and forest. I hear the enticing sound of a stream, hidden, with other mysteries, within the woods. #spring #nature

There's something magical about a clearing in the woods. The sunshine slanting in, wingbeats caught in the light. These are places out of time, pocket universes unto themselves. Photo:Bill White #nature #magic Curious? https://withmeaning.net

The first bee of spring - what a happy sight! Sipping from the catkins of a willow. #spring #nature

It feels so good to have the sun on my face after a long winter. To see the hills recede into haze... so exciting. #nature #happiness

Add plants to your work and home environment. Our physiology responds favourably to spaces with plants. Organic greens, verdant scents, interesting forms. They help to reduce stress and keep us feeling positive. #environment #happiness Photo: Arthouse Studio

Nature slowly reclaims the family fireplace, and the chimney stack, and the stones they borrowed from the earth to make a home. Life is transient. And so too the marks we leave upon the world. #contemplation #nature

Daffodils spring up in the woodland glade to trumpet their happy yellows. Like heralds, they promise a pageant of spring colour, just round the corner... #nature #happiness

To relax, exhale slightly longer than you inhale (e.g. in for 4 seconds, out for 6). This activates stress-countering hormones and stimulates the vagus nerve, shifting us from a state of high arousal to one of calm and well-being. #breathing #peace Credit: Arindam Raha

At no other stage in our evolution have our brains been asked to assimilate so many streams of artificial information as we do today. No wonder our brains regularly exhibit heightened signs of distress and overload. #overstimulation #brain Credit: Yuting Gao

Crocuses burst forth from the cold ground, previewing the riot of colours we can look forward to as the world wakes up once more. #spring #flowers

The sandy cliffs catch the last rays of the afternoon. I love the warm colour of the pre-dusk Golden Hour, mixed with the crisp air on my face. #spring #sunshine

If you're feeling overstimulated and unhappy today, try unplugging for a while and venture outside... #nature #happiness Credit: Masood Aslami

Adults need around 8 hours sleep per night. Habitually getting by on 6 or fewer has been shown to be as big a health risk as smoking, and increases your risk of many illnesses, including cancer. #sleep #health

This is a month of blossom - when nature reminds us how much we have missed the fragile beauty of flowers. #flowers #nature

There's real fulfilment to be had in the tumult of modern life, if only we could teach ourselves to surf the currents. Today, try going with the flow... #wellness #flow credit: Stijn Dijkstra

Nature gives you a natural high that comes from being immersed in the kind of environments our bodies were built for. A breeze on the skin, the irregular organic forms that interest the eye, the scent of flowers, or a forest floor, the sounds of flowing water or birdsong... #nature #happiness

When the grey skies of winter give way to the first, tentative blues of spring, your heart skips a beat. #spring #happiness

People who don’t get enough sleep age faster. Their bodies cannot heal, maintain the immune system, or effectively process the waste molecules that build up throughout the day. People live longer if they get the optimal amount of sleep. #sleep #health

Nasal breathing is incredibly effective at helping at regulating our fight or flight response, but can often be interrupted when we are stressed or staring at screens. #breathing #health

If we want to improve our quality of life, we need to reduce the amount of overstimulation we expose ourselves to, bringing it back to a level that our brains can handle without feeling burnt-out. #lifehack #happiness
