Natural learning: The fundamental way of learning
Who's your best teacher?
I love learning, whether learning something new from people, or things, especially learning from nature.
Come forth into the light things and let nature be your teacher.

I always wonder how much I learn when doing an effortless thing, such as walking into nature, seeing things in nature, observing them, and much more. I hope you believe everything comes from nature, and so everything falls under it. It’s always been thoughtful how simple things give you the greatest wisdom in life—just by looking around the trees outside, looking at the sky, listening to birds chirping, and more.
Here are two ways to get the most out of learning from nature.
Let’s dive in.
Walk into nature (the best way)
It's crazy how the simplest things gives you the greatest result.Learning by walking in nature has many benefits that can help you understand things better:
Fresh air and open space: Being outside gives your brain more oxygen, which helps you think clearly and stay focused.
Relaxation: Nature calms your mind, reducing stress. When you're relaxed, it's easier to absorb and understand new information.
Improved memory: Studies show that walking in nature helps improve your memory, making it easier to recall what you've learned.
Inspiration: Nature often sparks creativity. While walking, you may come up with new ideas or solutions to problems.
Movement helps thinking: Walking increases blood flow to the brain, boosting cognitive functions and making it easier to process and understand complex ideas.
Changing environment: Instead of sitting in one place, moving through different natural environments keeps your mind engaged, preventing boredom.
Connection with life: Nature helps you see the bigger picture. It reminds you of how things are connected, which can help in grasping broader concepts.
If you're being bored, go on a walk.
If you're stressed, go on a walk.
If you're uninspired, go on a walk.
If you're overweight, go on a walk.
There's almost no problem that a long walk can't help solve.

In short, walking in nature not only improves your mood and focus but also boosts your learning ability in a simple and natural way.
Seeing things in nature
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." – Albert EinsteinLearning by seeing things in nature can be very powerful, and here’s why:
Real-life examples: Nature shows you how things work in the real world. When you see animals, plants, and the environment, it becomes easier to understand concepts like life cycles, growth, and balance.
Visual learning: Seeing things with your own eyes helps your brain remember them better. It’s easier to recall something you’ve seen in action than something you’ve only read about.
Understanding patterns: Nature is full of patterns—like the way leaves are shaped, how rivers flow, or how birds fly. These patterns help you learn about order, structure, and design in a simple, visual way.
Engaging the senses: Seeing nature isn’t just about looking. It engages all your senses, making learning more immersive and meaningful.
Inspiration from beauty: The beauty of nature often inspires curiosity and deeper thinking. When you see something beautiful, you’re more likely to want to learn more about it.
Clear examples of cause and effect: Nature shows direct cause and effect, like how sunlight makes plants grow. These simple observations help you understand bigger ideas about how the world works.
"Nature is the ultimate teacher. Observe its simplicity, its patterns, and you will learn more than any book could teach you."
– Dan Koe
In short, learning by seeing things in nature makes learning real, memorable, and inspiring.
I didn't come up with a post last week, and I don't have any regrets for that. Honestly, I was enjoying, I enjoyed a lot in the nature.
