Accepting change - lessons from nature

As we move from spring towards summer we notice the changes in nature as we look out the window or go on a walk. Scientists studying nature's cycles have found an inherent rhythm—a dance of impermanence. Trees shedding leaves, flowers blooming, seasons transitioning—each phase illustrates the transient nature of life. Recent psychological studies echo these observations, highlighting the positive impact of embracing change in cultivating resilience and wellbeing.
 
Through the practice of mindfulness we can observe these cycles, recognising the impermanence of our own existence. Through observation we can discover the art of acceptance, the wisdom to let go, and the courage to welcome what comes next. Accepting change is an active process of letting go of resistance, fostering adaptability, and finding peace within transitions.
 
Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and mindful breathing, mirror nature's rhythm. They guide us to acknowledge our thoughts and emotions without getting hooked by them, teaching us to flow through life's changes gently.
