Waiting For Summer To Come Again

Some ideas on how to (re-)connect with nature ♡

⭑ Take a walk through the forest or a park, don't use your phone or listen to music, rather listen to the sounds of nature actively. What can you hear?

⛤ Collect some leaves, rocks, pine cones, feathers or anything else that you think is pretty! Maybe use your bounty to decorate your home with it?

⭑ Go touch some grass! No, this is not a joke, let's go feel the grass between your fingers and toes.

⛤ Try to find some flowers and smell them, what can you compare the scents with? Preferably, go outside and find wild flowers instead if bought ones!

⭑ Take a bath in a lake or dip your hands and feet into the water (a river is perfect, too!) Close your eyes and just feel the water.

⛤ Have a little picnic on a meadow, at the lake, in the forest or at any other peaceful spot. It's a date with yourself and with nature!

⭑ If this is an option for you: do some gardening work. Get your hands all dirty with earth and mud!

⛤ Pick some wild flowers from a meadow and make a little bouquet with them. (But please don't rip out the roots!)

⭑ Talk to the trees. Yes, this sounds silly but a tree is a perfect listener and companion if you need to talk something off of your chest.

⛤ Watch the sunset or sunrise. Enjoy this magical moment. How many colors can you spot?

⭑ Get some houseplants and take good care of them every day. (If you have pets, make sure your new friends are not poisonous for them!)

⛤ Observe. What kind of birds, plants, flowers and trees can you find in your environment? What kind of animals can you meet in the forest nearby? (Maybe write your observations down in a notebook!)

⭑ Lay down on some moss, grass or sand and just exist and feel how the earth carries you.

⛤ Go plant some flowers!

⭑ Spend some time in nature without social media (maybe leave your phone at home!)

⛤ Take a walk in the rain and / or dance in the rain.

⭑ Watch a thunderstorm from a safe spot

⛤ Craft a moss jar (these are so cute and perfect if you want some more nature in your own home!)

⭑ Keep little jars or flasks of the elements in your home (examples: earth - moss/earth/sand, water - water from a lake/river or collected rain water, air - a feather, fire - ashes, a used match)

⛤ Be more attentive to your environment: when do you notices changes in the seasons?

⭑ Have a self-love day, because you are a part of nature as well and deserve your own love!

⛤ Try to actively appreciate nature: be more thankful for the food, the water, the warmth nature provides us

Ideas: How to romanticize life

💫 Make your home / room smell lovely. Scented candles, oils, and similar are perfect for this.

💫 Take your time. Do things slowly instead of hasty - take your time in the shower, in the supermarket, while cleaning, etc.

💫 Have pretty decorations in your home / room. Surround yourself with cute little things to give yourself a beautiful space!

💫 Let some soft music play in the background (while doing things at home, or listen to soft music with earbuds while doing things outside.)

💫 Let yourself notice the wonders of nature more actively! The beauty of plants and flowers during a walk, the seemingly soft clouds in the sky on the way to work, the lullabies and happy songs the birds sing etc.

💫 Flowers! Always have one or two pretty bouquets at home, maybe one on your nightstand!

💫 Light candles whenever it gets dark and / or when doing tasks. Have candles while showering, taking a bath, cooking, cleaning. Whenever! Maybe even scented!

💫 Keep a diary / journal for positive entries only.

💫 Wear perfume, pretty clothes, do your makeup even when just staying at home.

💫 Books, books, books! Read a lot - whatever genre you prefer!

💫 Write and / or read poetry.

💫 Spend some peaceful time without devices.

💫 Start your day with a cup of tea - give yourself a silent moment before the everyday hustle and bustle!

💫 Give yourself more time to prepare your meals - make it a joyful, fun activity.

💫 Display / put up pictures of happy moments - moments where you felt beautiful, had fun.

💫 Use nice-smelling bath additives (oils, bath bombs etc.)

💫 Spend more time in nature - picnics, walks, bathing in a lake, collecting leaves and such.

💫 Make your meals look pretty!

💫 Wear elegant clothing while taking a walk.

💫 Write and give cute-looking letters to the people you love (and to yourself!)

💫 Exercise more self-care.

💫 Keep your space tidy and clean.

The scene that hits me the most in season 2 is when Laurtis gets home and Magne is off telling him about how he’s Thor. Laurtis is sooooo out of it.

skdvaskjdla the WAY Magne drags Laurits into the room has me howling every time like akdsvbsajld

imagine you've just verbally murdered someone on an open stage, everyone thinks you're the bees knees bc of this, you're drunk bc everyone kept paying for your alcohol to congratulate you and all you want is to go to bed, sleep in and hopefully not have a hangover tomorrow...

and instead... instead you get your incredibly-buff-all-of-a-sudden-WHEN-did-you-get-so-huge???-brother dragging you into his room by the scruff, like you're a fucking kitten, where he sits you down on his bed and proceeds to tell you the stupidest fucking story you've ever heard, bc apparently your brother is convinced he's fucking THOR now, and like... you're so fuckign drunk, you are FAR FAR too drunk for any of this, WHY are you even talking abt this and why does it have to be NOW???

And then... your brother is like: "I'm gonna kill giants and you need to help me." and like... again... you're too drunk for this only now you're beginning to think that maybe you're not the only one in this room who's a bit out of it, bc like... who the hell comes up with this shit unless they're either drunk or stoned out of their minds???

And THEN; bc the evening isn't weird enough already, your brother suddenly gets weirdly serious and is like: "You're the most important person in my life." and hugs you.

And since you ALREADY deal with emotional moments with the grace and maturity of a twelve year old who has a spider in their hair, even if you're not currently incredibly drunk, you literally just sit there and go: "... Huh?"

Anyway, as sweet as this moment is, I absolute SCREAM laughing every time I watch it bc Magne really couldn't have chosen a worse moment for this entire thing asdhkasvkjdbl

If it’s all the same to you, I’ll have that drink now.
