Mountains of reassurance

If you’re feeling low or in need of a pick me up, visit the mountains. The mountains don’t judge, the mountains don’t blame, the mountains don’t care, basically, and that’s exactly what makes them so amazing at dealing with your feelings.

I hate to get all religious on this, but if you go to the mountains and find somewhere, in the case of Japan there are shrines everywhere, and just pray to the Kami for your requests, but also explaining what you appreciate, when you get back, you will feel much better for it. Or, you could easily just go there and say what you appreciate, we don’t have to be religious here.

If you do so, you will feel reassurance from the mountains, and that is one of the best feelings there is.
