Feeling lost or overwhelmed? A new study out of Turku, Finland, reveals that qualitative time in nature fosters eudaimonic well-being—a deeper sense of purpose, authenticity, self-acceptance, and meaningful connection.
In both teens and older adults, nature felt non-judgmental, easing self-acceptance and sparking personal growth, agency, and belonging—not just to people, but to all living things. It’s not simply a mood boost—it helps shape who you are.
Take a quiet walk, sit by water, or linger under a tree—nature may offer more than peace. It might help you rediscover yourself.

Memories of early May for #FootpathFriday

I spotted the first Christmas biscuits (Spekulatius) in the supermarket yesterday, which is a sure sign that summer is officially drawing to a close. 🥺 We spent most of our free weekends this summer working on our terrace (it's nearly finished!), so I'm hoping we'll be able to get out and about a bit more for the rest of the year.

A winding dirt path disappears into a dense, verdant forest on a clear day. The path is flanked on both sides by lush green foliage, including bushes and ferns. Above, tall trees with vibrant green leaves form a canopy, allowing patches of bright blue sky to show through. The sunlight casts dappled shadows on the path.
