🌳Happy National Tree Week 🌳

At Rewild and Thrive we love being around the trees and we care deeply about them, we celebrate them, and we triumph the wild spaces they support. This week is the perfect moment to appreciate just how extraordinary trees really are.

Did you know...

🍃There are an estimated 3 trillion trees on Earth, that's more than the number of stars in our galaxy!

🍃Spending time around trees genuinely improves our wellbeing. Research shows that exposure to forests can reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and even ease physical tension. Nature really does heal.

🍃The largest living tree on the planet is the giant sequoia named General Sherman in the USA. It stands 83m tall with a 31m-wide trunk at its base. It's nearly as tall as Big Ben which is 96m!

🍃Trees are essential for life: filtering our air, supporting wildlife, cooling our cities, and grounding us in nature.

At Rewild and Thrive, we love exploring, learning about, and connecting with the woodlands that make our landscapes so special. Trees inspire us every day to slow down, breathe deeply, and protect the wild world around us.

🌱💚 This week in particular we celebrate these incredible living giants. If there's ever a good time to get outside and hug a tree, this is the week!

✨❄️ This morning's reminder to slow down ❄️✨
Brrr..... It's a chilly one this morning where we are. But all this cold weather brings along some extra beauty. This gorgeous leaf dusted in frost caught my eye, as I looked closer I could see each tiny crystal tracing around the veins like nature's own handwriting. It's amazing how the cold can reveal details we usually rush past... patterns and textures, revealing quiet beauty.

Here's to noticing the small things today, the ones that ask us gently to breathe, to look closer, to appreciate what's already here.🌿💚

🌿Hope🌿

I love the idea of this and it really gives me hope on darker days. Sometimes we get so caught up in where we are that we forget how much beauty is still ahead of us. New places, new people, new joy or even new versions of ourselves we haven't even met yet!

Hold onto hope, stay open to possibility, and trust that life still has lots more magic in store.

Nobody knows what's around the corner but a little hope and the idea that there's so much more good to happen to us yet can bring comfort. 🌿🤍

🧠Kindness Changes Your Brain🧠

Who doesn't love a random act of kindness? But did you know that when you do something kind, even something tiny like giving a compliment or holding the door, your brain lights up in powerful ways.

Your brain releases oxytocin, the "love hormone," which strengthens social bonds and lowers blood pressure. You get a boost of dopamine and serotonin, the same feel-good chemicals that lift your mood and reduce stress.

Acts of kindness also activate your brain's reward centre, meaning kindness literally feels good. The amazing thing is your brain can't always tell the difference between doing something kind and seeing kindness, so witnessing compassion also gives you a mental lift!

Every small act ripples out, not just changing someone's day, but rewiring your own brain for happiness and connection.💚

Let us know if you received any acts of kindness today ⬇️

🌟Self Approval🌟

It's so easy to believe that being hard on ourselves is the only way to grow and that self criticism means discipline. That somehow pushing ourselves with harsh words would make us stronger.

But if you really think about it, does it actually help? Or does it just leave you feeling tired, anxious, and always feeling like you're not enough?

How about trying something different?
What if progress didn't require punishment?
What if you could grow because you feel supported, not because you feel broken?

Approving of yourself doesn't mean you stop improving. It means you stop tearing yourself down while you're trying to rise.

It looks like:
• speaking to yourself the way you'd speak to someone you love
• allowing mistakes without spiraling
• acknowledging effort even when the outcome isn't perfect
• taking up space without apologising for existing

It's not always easy to see but there is strength in softness, and courage in choosing compassion.

Try approving of yourself. Not just once, not just on the good days. But consistently, gently, and with intention.

See what changes.
See what grows.
See who you become. 🌿✨

🍁Beauty Within🍁

I'm in such awe of the trees at the moment, everywhere I go I'm distracted by their beauty. I realised while stood absorbing everything they had to offer that they are always beautiful, but even more so at this time of year and it made me think about how we always seem to be seeking beauty of some sort.

Wanting the moment to feel magical right now. Hoping the glow will show up on command.

But beauty has its own pace. The trees don't turn golden until the air shifts and the season is ready and we too bloom when it's time.

There is no rush. Everything takes time. You are just in a season of becoming.

Let it come gently.
Let it come naturally.
Let it come when you are ready. 🍁✨

✨ Rise Stronger✨

As we approach the last couple of months of the year it can sometimes feel challenging. The shorter grey days and dark nights don't always help and often, life can throw us extra challenges.

Difficult moments are temporary. They shape us, refine us, and can reveal strengths we didn't even know we had. The version of you that comes out on the other side will be wiser, stronger, and more resilient.

If you feel like you're in the middle of a storm, keep going. Breathe and take it one day at a time. You are not defined by what you go through, but by how you rise.💛

You've got this 💪

🌕 The Beaver Moon: November 5th 🌕

✨ The brightest, fullest moon of the year ✨

As the clocks have just gone back and the days draw shorter, this luminous Beaver Moon rises, the final full moon before winter (but not the last of the year) and the brightest of the year.
It’s a beautiful reminder that even as darkness deepens, there is still light to guide us. 🌙

Traditionally, this was the time when beavers built their lodges, preparing for the cold months ahead.
This is our cue to do the same: to slow down, create warmth, and strengthen our emotional foundations.

💫 Wellbeing Focus:
Let this moon be your permission slip to rest, reflect, and rebuild.

Ask yourself:
• What do I need to release before winter begins?
• How can I bring more light into my darker days, through routine, connection, or creativity?
• What helps me feel safe, grounded, and supported?

🌙 Group Challenge:
For the next 7 days, we’ll build our own “wellbeing lodges.”
Each day, choose one small act of light, something that brings warmth to your world:
🕯️ Journal by candlelight
🌲 Take a walk under the moon
🍲 Cook a slow, nourishing meal
📵 Switch off screens early and rest deeply

Share your reflections or photos with and tag us so we can rise together.

Let’s light up the darker days as a community. 🫶

🌟 Even in darkness, there’s light. Even in stillness, there’s strength. 🌟

🕰️ Slow down 🕰️

As the clocks turn back this weekend suddenly we're given the rarest gift of all: time. An extra hour to slow down, to stretch, to step away from the rush.

Instead of filling it with more to-do's, what if we simply let ourselves pause? To rest, reflect, and reconnect.

Life isn't meant to be lived in fast-forward. Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when we press pause, slow down and breathe a little deeper.🌿
