I saw this sloth in CR….. so sharing some of the magic from that moment!
Lessons from a Costa Rican Sloth on Rest 🦥
5 Things a Sloth Knows About Rest:
1. Slow down
2. Sleep deeply
3. Save your energy
4. Stress less
5. Rest often
Sloths sleep 15–20 hours a day—not because they’re lazy, but because their biology demands it. Rest is the strategy.
What this slow-moving master can teach us about recovery:
• Slow down intentionally. Not everything requires urgency.
• Rest is productive. Your nervous system repairs, consolidates, and resets during downtime.
• Recovery is strength. The sloth’s “slowness” is exactly what allows it to survive and thrive.
In a world that glorifies hustle, remember: rest is not weakness—it’s biology.

🌿 Wellness Wednesday
In Japan, it’s called Shinrin-yoku — “forest bathing.” While we were teaching in Campbell River, on Vancouver Island BC, we got to Forest bath a couple of times. We will never forget the spectacular beauty of Forest bathing 🌲 here, including sighting of bear 🐻 , spawning salmon 🐟 , and going face to face with a 🦁 mountain lion!! Heart was racing but also in awe of that encounter in nature!!! 🦁 We still wondered…. Where did he go?! We couldn’t help but to imagine since he jumped up he was watching us from above. What would you do? Go up on the trail, stay… or hike down?
And yes, I put mud on my face (natural beauty treatment 😆), collected maple leaves 🍁 larger than my head, and was in awe of every mushroom and tree. The oxygen in these forests make you feel alive!
Swipe to see the video I captured 😱✌🏽🙌🏽🤗!!
Do you practice Shinrin Yoku?
It simply means immersing yourself in nature with intention. No phone. No rushing. Just breathing, walking, and being present among the trees… and noticing all the small details and beauty of nature, that you are part of!
Research shows time in nature can:
🌲 lower stress hormones
🌲 improve mood and focus
🌲 support immune function
🌲 help regulate sleep
Sometimes the most powerful medicine is stepping outside.
