Getting into Your Element
Getting into your element involves finding and entering a positive place to recharge your mind, body, and spirit.
Everyone has a place or places that they like to go to in order to reset. I am not talking about taking a trip or vacation, or even a huge amount of time. No, this is all about discovering your element and spending time there.
What is an element?
For me, my element tends to be the outdoors. I love hiking, the feeling of the sun on my skin, a breeze touching my face, and the sound of running water. If I can find a trail beside a fast-moving stream or river, I am home.
This is the place where I feel most able to unwind. Release tension and stress and find my calm and center. Even if I cannot find all of the above-mentioned aspects of an element, just getting outside is a step in the right direction.
This is not the only element I like to go to. Getting into the water — river, lake, pool, or what-have-you, calms me. I don’t need to swim laps, just floating in the water feels reinvigorating.
That’s the key about finding and getting into your elements, whatever they may be. These are places where you connect your mind, body, and spirit, and are able to recharge them. Reset them. Give them a space to find calm and peace.
