It's such a relief to realise that no one else has the power to make you feel a certain way. In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a couple of stories that show how, even when it seems like someone can upset or insult you, that's never truly the case. Once you understand the power of your own thoughts, you see that words and beliefs have no built-in power of their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What does forgiveness mean to you? Is it excusing bad behaviour or allowing someone to get away with something inappropriate? In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz explores forgiveness as looking beyond someone's behaviour and reconnecting with the deeper energy of love. It's about releasing the feeling of being hard done by and finding your own solid ground. You can forgive someone while still letting them know their behaviour is not acceptable ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

In a culture that prizes quick decisions, 'not knowing' can feel like a flaw—but it's actually a deeply human place to be. In this episode, Liz explores the art of sitting with uncertainty, discovering that it's okay to pause, reflect, and embrace the unknown rather than rush or feel anxious. Tune in to hear how accepting not knowing can open space for clarity, growth, and calm. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

As Liz heads out for a walk with a neighbour's dog, she reflects on how her old definition of success was shaped by other people's expectations—job titles, income, external approval. But on a sunlit autumn day, sitting on a rock on Dartmoor, she realises that her life in this very moment feels like the truest expression of success. There's nowhere else she'd rather be, and nothing more she'd rather be doing. Join Liz as she explores how our understanding of success can shift, soften, and ultimately come home to what feels genuinely meaningful. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Did you know that thoughts are naturally neutral until we give them energy? In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz compares thoughts to leaves drifting down a river. If we simply watch them float by, they pass without impact. But the moment we pick a leaf—the thought—out of the river, we start to believe it's true. It's liberating to realise: you don't have to believe every thought that pops up during your day. Let them drift, and they will naturally move on. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Are you someone who clings tightly to your goals? Or perhaps you lean the other way, moving through life guided by spontaneity. In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on her own tendency to hold fast to plans — and how that rigidity can sometimes keep her from flowing with life. Lately, the universe has been inviting her to practice flexibility. Ultimately, she's discovering that the real compass lies within. By listening for inner wisdom and trusting intuition, the path becomes clearer and more aligned. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What happens when masculine and feminine energies fall out of balance in our world? As Liz reflects on the strength and wisdom of older women, she notices how often they retreat instead of stepping forward into their power. Earlier this year, during a pilgrimage along the Michael and Mary energy lines in the UK, she witnessed firsthand how these two currents symbolize the harmony that comes from balance. It's a lesson that has stayed with her — and one she's inspired to explore more deeply. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

If you find yourself caught up in restless or anxious thoughts, imagine them as an over-excited puppy. In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz shares a story about visiting a lively puppy that became even more jumpy and nippy the more attention it received. The calmer the visitor became, the more the puppy settled. Our unsettled thoughts work much the same way—when we stop feeding them with attention, they naturally quiet down on their own. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit in? Or perhaps you sense that you're in the middle of a transition? In today's 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz observes a family of cygnets shedding their soft grey feathers as they transform into elegant swans. This beautiful change—from cygnet to swan—mirrors Liz's own journey, as she too finds herself in a period of transformation and growth. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

It's a season of release — a time to let go and create space for what's yet to come. In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz Scott reflects on the falling autumn leaves, seeing in them a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth.

It's time to redirect your focus from what's out of reach to what's within your power. In today's 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on the importance of appreciating what she is able to do. She notices how easy it is to slip into comparison with others, wishing she had their strengths or talents. But today, she recognises that the real power lies in focusing on what she can do — and that this is what truly matters. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, on Insight Timer.

What does it feel like to move from a place of invisibility into one of visibility? So often, women in their fifties and sixties are expected to retreat quietly into the background, fading into the shadows rather than stepping forward with the wisdom and strength they carry.  But what if the opposite were true? Today, Liz reflects on the immense value that is lost when older women are overlooked, their voices unheard and their contributions unrecognised. She invites us to consider how much richer the world could be if we truly honoured and embraced the experience, perspective, and power that women in this stage of life have to offer. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, for this short reflection.
