Forced Plant Appreciation is Pointless
May 28, 2021
Reflections on habit #28 in my journey
Examine and marvel at a plant every day. Yup, I was officially running out of ideas and scrapping the bottom of the barrel when I came up with this habit.
My reaction to putting a plant appreciation habit into practice was much like my sunset habit. I love plants and find a lot of joy in studying them, noticing them, slowing myself down, and being mindful. But trying to force this into a daily habit took all the joy away.
I’m scrapping plant examination as a daily habit and instead trying to naturally include time to smell the roses and marvel at the intricacy of weeds and wildflowers as well as formal gardens.
