Chooseday 21st April, Choose to Ground Yourself 🌿


Good Morning,


Tomorrow is Earth Day 🌿 but before we get there, this Chooseday is your moment to pause, reset… and reconnect.


Because let’s be honest, most of us are living very “LinkedIn lives” right now:


☕ Running on caffeine and Beroccas, and not sustainable energy through sunshine or regular exercise

💻 Back-to-back meetings, and not enough time outside

📱 Constant notifications, and not... looking... up!


And it’s catching up with us.


In Australia, around 1 in 2 adults live with at least one chronic condition (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2024), many of which are linked to stress, lifestyle, and environmental factors.


Earth Day isn’t just about the environment. It’s about reconnection.


A reminder that we’re not separate from nature — we’re part of it.

And when we reconnect with it, the impact is real.



Recent research shows that spending just 10–20 minutes in nature can significantly reduce stress, with studies finding cortisol levels can drop by up to 21% after short outdoor exposure (2024–2025 systematic reviews).


Time in green spaces has also been linked to reduced anxiety, improved mood, and lower risk of depression.


In other words — stepping outside isn’t just a break. It’s a biological reset.


And one of the simplest ways to do it?

Take your shoes off and stand on the earth. 🌱


Grounding (or “earthing”) — placing your bare feet on grass, sand or soil — is gaining attention for its potential to support wellbeing.


While the research is still emerging, studies suggest grounding may help regulate cortisol (our primary stress hormone), improve sleep quality, and reduce stress and fatigue, with even short periods linked to improved mood and relaxation.




So this Chooseday:

  • Step outside between meetings

  • Take your shoes off for a few minutes

  • Feel the grass, the sun, the air


And if you’re feeling inspired —turn that connection into impact.


Support the work of Earthwatch Australia— protecting ecosystems, restoring biodiversity, and bringing science and communities together to care for our environment.



Because caring for the earth doesn’t start somewhere else.

It starts with feeling connected to it.


Choose to ground yourself.

Choose the earth. 🌏💚
