Ana\u2019s wild side<\/strong> and the 8 Steps to Rewilding<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Eating as a hunter-gatherer<\/span>: <\/strong>Look for food in its purest and most natural and unprocessed state; forget about wrapped and labelled food and go local and seasonal. Be reasonable when it comes to portions and cherish the food and the company. Don\u2019t forget about the water, look for a close by spring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ana: \u200bI have my own ecological garden, and I follow the \u201cdiet of joy.\u201d I learned that if you don\u2019t to eat with pleasure and joy it is better not to eat<\/strong>! Eating with joy means doing it seated \u2013 slowly, tasting the food, and being grateful for the sources.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Moving like a hunter-gatherer<\/span>:<\/strong> Reintroduce movements that are characteristic of the human body. Walk, run, sprint (barefoot when you can), jump, balance, move on all four, lift heavy weights, and swim. Try to sit as little as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Ana: I don\u2019t work out, but the least you can say is that I am active. I am always moving around. I walk a lot, and when at home \u2013 in the garden or patio and wherever possible \u2013 I walk <\/strong>barefoot. I adore going for a walk in the beautiful woods only five minutes from my house.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Sleeping like a hunter-gatherer<\/span>: <\/strong>Sleep at the beat of the circadian rhythm whenever possible. Wake up at dawn, and wind down in the evening. Put out the lights, start disconnecting all the electronic devices, and avoid sleeping while surrounded by them. Your sleeping place should inspire you to relax and induce sleep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Ana: \u200bI used to be a night person, but I managed to change my habits. Today my rhythm is led by the sun. I love to wake up at 7 a.m., and I start preparing for a good night\u2019s sleep at about 10 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Relaxing and playing like a hunter-gatherer<\/span>:<\/strong> Leave stress behind and dedicate enough time to relax (this does not include watching TV or playing PlayStation). Spend time reading, do a light physical workout, meet up with friends, or enjoy nature. Don\u2019t forget to play (with your kids whenever possible). And last but not least, humour is a great way of relaxing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Ana: I play a lot while working, because I love joking and doing funny things in the middle of the work day. For relaxation, I love massages, lying on my sofa or bed to read a book or hugging the people I love.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Disconnecting and reconnecting<\/span>:<\/strong> Refuse to be bombarded by all the kinds of electronic devices surrounding you. Reduce your time watching TV, and take off your watch. Make time to disconnect, and don\u2019t give in to the many possible excuses. Once disconnected, make time to reconnect with your (wilder) self, and listen to your inner voice. Start to really know yourself. Discover what your real desires and goals in life are. Find out what your mission is on this planet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Ana: \u200bYessss! I like that! Three or four times a year, I do a detox retreat of 7-15 days, mostly outside Spain, somewhere close to nature, connecting with the elements.\u00a0<\/strong>During the weekends that I don\u2019t work, I love to dedicate my time fully, 100% to someone else. Sunday is me time. I usually take my \u201cspiritual reflections notebook\u201d and make adjustments in my life.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Going outdoors<\/strong><\/span>: Spend as much time as possible outdoors.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Ana: Whenever I can, I like to spend time outside, and when possible, at the beach. In Madrid, I love to have breakfast, lunch and dinner outdoors in my garden.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Observing<\/strong><\/span>: Stop thinking that all that surrounds you is evident and logical. Start listening once again to the singing of the birds. Try to learn and recognize the different species by their song. Learn about the plants and trees in your area. Observe animals and learn from them. Discover your totem animal \u2013 the animal that inspires you, gives you strength and teaches you things. Don\u2019t forget to observe other people to better understand your own feelings thoughts and perceptions. What you see in them, you see in yourself.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Ana: \u200bI do observe my garden, and learn from the plants. I also love to observe and learn from my cats; they are authentic and confident. <\/strong>\u200b<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Learning bushcraft and survival skills<\/strong><\/span>: Returning to our natural state requires relearning a minimum of technical bushcraft and survival skills in order to be able to enjoy more time in nature in the most comfortable way. The ancestral techniques of bushcraft and survival are meant to cover our basic needs such as food, water and shelter. Even more important, they teach us the difference between the essential and the superficial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \u200bAna: This sounds great, but I have no experience in that field at all. I would love to learn some of that stuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

                  Thank you so much Ana for showing us your wilder side. We extend to you a warm invitation to join us on our next rewilding adventure! You seem to have the basic ideas behind bush crafting down already, and you will be a quick learner.<\/p>\n

                  A hug!<\/p>\n
