Unplug from Overwhelm with Nature with Michelle Dear-Moncrief

August 25, 20251 min read

Is stress clouding your life? In a world of endless decisions and distractions, Michelle Dear-Moncrief from Makers Corner Crafts shares how reconnecting with nature can renew your mind. Delve into this insightful session from The Great Unplug Retreat and learn a refreshing approach to stress management that's as elemental as stepping outside.

Why Nature Matters

We live in a world surrounded by constant noise, and our minds can become stuck in loops of stress and overwhelm. The usual tools and apps might promise efficiency, but they often leave us more scattered. Michelle explains that spending intentional time outdoors can break these stress cycles, offering a natural remedy that resets our senses and minds.

What You'll Learn from Michelle

Michelle at the Unplug & Create Retreat outlines the different types of overwhelm—physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral—and how identifying your type leads to more effective management techniques. She teases the idea of using nature breaks suited to your specific overwhelm type and the time you have available. You'll also explore how consistent nature exposure can improve mental clarity and emotional well-being.

A New Way to Think About Stress

Consider this: spending just five minutes outdoors with a specific focus can dramatically shift your mindset. Michelle shares why nature resets are effective by shifting your sensory input and offering a new perspective, all without the pressure of completing another productivity task.

MEET THE AUTHOR,
STEPH BLAKE

For years, I poured everything into building my business and raising my family—until I realized I lost a part of myself in the process.

I used to be deeply creative, finding joy in designing, making, and exploring new ideas.

But as life got busier, that creativity took a backseat to client work, to-do lists, and the daily demands of running a business and being a mom.

One day, I decided to slowly start creating again—just for myself.

I explored new hobbies to get a quick dopamine hit for my ADHD brain with no expectations or pressure. And everything changed.

Tapping back into creativity became a form of self-care, a reset button, and a way to feel connected to myself!

Now, through Create & Escape™, I help others rediscover that same creative freedom!
