Cape Fear Summer Lena Simmons

Robots animals react. Human being are born with the gifts of choice. There is a space between the stimulus (event) and the response (your action) that space is choice. Choice is one of our greatest freedoms. Choice is the basis of the pathways of our lives. Stress has the factor of living your life and responding based upon another person's expectations. One of the greatest disappointment in the end of life is not living your life by your beliefs, not following your inner compass, and a meaningful legacy. Another aspect of choice is the focus on happiness in the present moment. There are no perfect moments to live your dreams and speak your truth. The moment is now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but now. Cape Fear Summer is part of the process of Forrest bathing. Forrest bathing is calming and focused attention. The photographs and inspired thoughts provides a mind and visual vacation. Looking at nature in a photograph is a now experience. Stress reduction starts with focus on today, without anxiety about yesterday or the future. Imagine ourselves in a peaceful setting slows down the heart rate and calms the mind. A calm and focused mind creates significance, fulfillment, meaning legacy, and expression of the gift to the planet -you.
