“We often consume our lives with unnecessary negative emotions, creating the illusion that our lives are complex and problematic. However, no matter how complex you may feel your life has become, the simplicity of indulging yourself in the beauty and monstrosity of something so pure such as Mt Aoraki can diminish those feelings, replacing them with the sense of inner peace.
I found a way to reset my mind and make my seemingly complicated life simple again by challenging myself to walk up the highest point of our farm to look out over everything around me. This perspective belittled my worries, reset my mind and allowed me to realise how much I take for granted."
