Many experienced gurus and healers over the years have stated that if you want to restore your wellbeing, often you have to go back to basics. That’s not to discount the ingenuity and insight of modern medicine of course, where relevant this should always be appropriately prioritized.

However, if you can focus on a healthy diet (in relation to your needs and advice given by medical personnel), a great sleep routine and exercise as is suitable, you’ll have the three main pillars of your self-care properly sustained.

It’s also true that “the basics” of life are much more than this. After all, between eating, sleeping and exercise, there’s a fair amount of time to fill.

Many of us have responsibilities to deal with and precious little free time, but that doesn’t mean we have none of it. In these instances, returning to basics can be helpful.

Among these, can be exposure to nature. Forests, calming woods, parks, and more are worth your time to visit.

But we’ll also suggest that water, considered to have healing properties for millennia, and healthy exposure to it, can help “restore and reset” you also.

In this post we’ll explain some methods to involve it in your own life:

Keep It Very Simple

You can still feel the healing power of water without necessarily the expense of trips to a huge lake or a massive ocean.

Just adding it to your daily routine is a simple practice that you can do for your well-being, where it mostly counts.

For example, a long, warm bath can be a peaceful retreat after a stressful day, so you can just lie back and feel your worries wash away, and perhaps treating yourself to a scented “bath bomb” can be nice.

Moreover, a nice hot shower can also do the same trick, acting as a moment of quiet solitude where you can just be with your thoughts.

If you take a longer soak than usual and meditate, it can feel restorative.

Exploring The Open Water

For many people, getting out on a boat feels like a great escape from the day-to-day.

The gentle rocking of the water and the sound of the waves can be very soothing for the mind and spirit, and you don't have to be a big-time boater to enjoy this, as even a small vessel can provide a wonderful sense of freedom and peace.

Those who feel serious about their vessels know that a boat's performance and reliability, especially on bigger boats, is crucial, and it depends on every single component working correctly, even something as specific as a Caterpillar raw water pump.

It’s this attention to detail that can make being out on the water so peaceful, and can inspire a little exercise or fishing if you enjoy that hobby.

Embrace The Elements

Taking a swim in a cool lake or a freshwater river can be a very refreshing and invigorating experience for your whole body, as can proximity, such as walking barefoot on a damp beach to feel more connected to the earth and the water.

Immersive exposure like this helps you feel more grounded and present in the moment. If you allow yourself to let go and permit the natural world to restore and reset your spirit, you can feel more in sync with yourself and the world around you.

With this advice, we hope you can feel more inspired to enjoy the healing power of water.
