Now that you have God’s attention, it’s time you feel him where he’s the strongest. I’m not talking about forcing yourself to go to church on a busy Sunday morning or asking you to leave the county on some year-long mission. What I’m suggesting is much simpler, and it cost no money. There is no collection plate being passed around, and you don’t have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to. It will be just you and God.

You can tackle this one in a few different ways, but the objective here is to get your ass off the couch and somewhere in nature. It might be going for a walk, standing in the rain, or even sitting in your car watching a sunrise. The options are endless, and the objective is simple. Use your five senses to enjoy everything nature has to offer. Don’t put in your headphones and take anyone with you. Just be at one with nature in whatever way feels right to you—nothing more and nothing less. Feel the rain on your face or rub your fingertips on the trunk of a tree. Listen to the sounds of birds chirping or bend down and smell a flower in full bloom.

Don’t try and figure out the meaning of life, and don’t worry if you start thinking about your to-do list. When your thoughts come, just bring yourself back to the beauty of creation. Be ok with whatever thoughts form in your mind, and remember you are just there to experience what is already created. I don’t care how long you last on your new adventure but try and get familiar with being alone with nature in its purest form. You will not only feel alive, but you will feel a connection to something you cannot describe.
