Change adds variety to life. Every change brings more possibilities with it. So, what if that change is only the change of weather. Living in a place that gets change of season every few months, is a real bliss. The change in weather does not only change the conditions and temperature outside. It changes our life closely.
The food we eat, the clothes we wear and the way we feel; it touches almost everything. It brings a feel freshness in life. Humans are born to be bored (pun extended). But really, we all love variety. The drizzle of rains after months of heat, feels heaven. We all love when the warmth in weather relieves us after the shivering cold season.
Every weather has its own likeable and non-likeable features. The list depends on an individual taste too. Some love it one way, others can love it some other way. For me no one weather can be perfect. What is most exciting is the change period. When you want to hold the outgoing weather but also want to feel the freshness of new weather.
The same food can taste refreshing when we eat it after break of few months. The changes that happen in lifestyle due to weather changes gives us opportunity to break the routine and form a new one. Nature becomes the source of freshness in our lives.
Lifestyle nowadays is more confined inside. Due to this, we miss to participate fully in this change. We use technology to keep us comfortable and maintain status quo in our lives. With air conditioning, we are able to maintain the comfortable temperature in our homes. We confine ourselves to avoid any impact of change in outside.
However, this keeps us restricted mentally. Our adjusting capabilities don’t develop. Using technology for comfort is fine but it should have balance. Spending time outside to actually enjoy the new weather, till it gets harsh; helps us at deeper levels. Breaking free from mundaneness of life keeps us more joyous and livelier. For this change, we need not always choose some fancy options. Simple changes like, to be more connected with life around us can also help in that.
Ending with this beautiful quote by Henry David Thoreau,
“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
