This is my guilty pleasure every spring 🤤🫠
I take out all my plants, give them new soil and most of them always get a bigger pot because they have outgrown their space 🪴
First thing first ☝🏼 Don’t be afraid of getting dirty!! Getting your bare hands in the soil and your bare feet on the grass is one really good thing you can do for your nervous system, your immune system and for your mood 🥰
☝🏼Bare feet on the ground:
Reduces cortisol, calms the nervous system, improves sleep and connects your body to the earth’s natural electric charge (yes that is a real thing) 🫶🏼
☝🏼Bare hands in soil:
Natural soil contains a bacteria that literally boosts your serotonin, supports your immune system and reduces anxiety and some studies even show it has similar effects to antidepressants! If you are using store bought soil (like I did this time) you don’t get the benefit of that bacteria - but hey hands in the soil anyway 🌱
So I spent my Saturday doing free therapy, getting a serotonin boost and supporting my immune and nervous system all at the same time 🥰
And yes my assistant was very involved in the process as you can see 🐶
Soooo, next time you are feeling stressed, anxious or just off - try to go outside, take your shoes off and put your hands in the dirt, your body will thank you 🫶🏼
Do you like to work with bare feet and hands or are you more like a full cover up human that prefers to stay clean and tidy? 😁
