💚

 I woke up in a pretty good mood today, though still too lazy to start my day properly, so I’d say my energy levels were somewhere in the middle.

After finishing my job, I took a bath and had breakfast. My cat was sitting by the window, staring outside, so I sat behind her and watched the leaves swaying on the trees. I kept thinking about what my therapist told me yesterday—to spend more time in nature because it helps calm the mind.

At first, I felt like, How can nature elevate my mood? It’s all just blandishment.

But after a few minutes of quietly watching the leaves, I actually started to feel calm.

Then my elder sister interrupted me, asking me to cook. I was about to, but she didn’t want what I planned to make. I ended up shouting my way out of the situation and cooked what she wanted. I was annoyed, but thankfully it didn’t turn into a fight.

While cutting the green vegetables, I noticed they made me feel calm too. Maybe there really is something about the color green that soothes the brain.

I guess it’s time to welcome more green into my life—maybe my mind has been craving it all along.....
