How to increase Negative Ions for a Positive impact on well-being

Negative ions are often associated with a positive impact on mood and well-being. Here are some natural ways to increase negative ions:

1. Spending Time in Nature: Natural settings, especially near waterfalls, oceans, or after a rain, tend to have higher concentrations of negative ions. Spending time outdoors, in parks, or in natural environments can expose you to more negative ions.
Some do what is called forest bathing, others do grounding. I personally engage as many senses as possible while in nature, aks Nature Therapy, as I like to call it, which may include: 

Listening for birds, leaves, etc.

Looking around to See the scenery and enjoy it. Take in your environment - from the mountains and water around you to the trees, leaves, flowers, and animals.

Stopping to Smell the flowers or freshness after rain or snow or even the smell of water features.

Hug a tree or Touch leaves, rocks, water, bark, etc.

Tasting your bottle of water, coffee, tea, or snack or if you know how to forage for edibles in nature.

Engage your sixth sense through your overall awareness or intuition, acknowledging the interconnectedness of oneself with nature and the broader environment.

2. Fresh Air: Ventilate indoor spaces regularly to allow fresh air circulation. Open windows and doors to let in outdoor air, particularly if you're in an area surrounded by greenery. Hang laundry to dry our on a line. Spend tume breathing, especially first thing in the morning

3. Water Features: Water releases negative ions into the air. Consider having indoor fountains, aquariums, or simply spending time near water bodies to increase exposure to negative ions. As well introducing waterfalls, ponds, rain chains, etc. are also amazing in your personal backyard oasis.

4. Sunshine: Spending time outdoors in sunlight can increase negative ion production. Sunlight facilitates the production of negative ions, particularly in areas with moving air. Some people take in the first light of the day to gain benefita of the suns healing while limiting the harmful damage from UVA and UVB.

5. Salt Lamps: Some people believe that salt lamps, made from Himalayan salt crystals, release negative ions when heated by the lamp. While the scientific evidence is limited, some find them aesthetically pleasing. I personally enjoy a salt lamp beside me at bedtime and alao have them throughout the house for added healing.

It's important to note that while negative ions have been associated with potential mood and health benefits, scientific research on these effects is ongoing, and individual responses may vary.

Always consider these suggestions as complementary to an overall healthy lifestyle, and consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice.

Enjoy ways to increase negative ions and make it magical!

Why you may not be following through on commitments.

There can be various reasons why people may fail to follow through on their commitments. Here are a few common factors: 1. Lack of motivation: People may lose motivation or enthusiasm for their commitments over time. They might have initially been excited about a particular goal or promise but later find it challenging to maintain that level of motivation. 2. Poor time management: Many commitments require time and effort to fulfill. If someone has poor time management skills or consistently overestimates their available time, they may struggle to allocate enough resources to fulfill their commitments effectively. 3. Overcommitment: Sometimes, people take on more commitments than they can realistically handle. This can result in spreading themselves too thin, leading to difficulty in meeting all their obligations. 4. Changing priorities: People's priorities and circumstances can change over time. A commitment that seemed important at one point might become less relevant or feasible

Understanding and navigating grief during these times can be challenging, but it is an essential part of the healing process.
