Pride month

With June being Pride month, I wanted to drop in with a quick message to those that are in the LGBTQI+ community and let you know I am proud of you.

While it may seem easy to be in the LGBT community it really isn’t. There are factors that go against a person which causes a lot of shame, angst, and stress. While many in the world are becoming more accepting, there are still assholes that think something is wrong with us.

Nudism to Reduce Anxiety and Hypervigilience

Can being nude help reduce your anxiety and hypervigiliance?

Nudism to Reduce Anxiety

In a recent blog (seen here) I wrote about the importance of mental health and my life dealing with depression and anxiety. The previous post was about depression, this one I will address how I use nudism to reduce anxiety and calm my inner thoughts and hypervigiliance.

For many non-nudist reading this, the thought of being naked around others probably just increased your own anxiety level. It can be scary at first as there is a ton of thoughts that race through your mind, which then create fear. Fear of the unknown then drives anxiety. It is a vicious circle. In short: fear can cause anxiety and anxiety can cause fear.

Stop Asking Permission: Live Life on Your Terms

Time to quit asking permission and start doing what you want.
Ryan, a military veteran nudist and owner of everyday nudist on a hike at Sun Meadows Family Nudist Resort in Idaho.

Live life on your terms.

Do you ever find yourself wanting to do something or trying something out, however, you begin to think to yourself “what would xx think about it”? XX could be a friend, family member, general population or whomever comes to your mind.  

This simple thought process stops more people in their tracks because they don’t want to have others think negatively about them or their image. This also stops people from trying out new things or living a lifestyle they want to live.

The mental fight we have starts when someone says, “well I would never do that”. Of course, they wouldn’t do it in their life. Hell, I am sure they are doing things you would never do, however, they are still doing it. But what does their opinion really matter in the course your life, wants, and desires. Hint, answer should be little to none.

Are You Fighting a Substance Abuse Disorder?

Here is a look into my personal story

While it hasn’t always been easy, Ryan from Every Day Nudist shows it can be done and you can still smile.

Are You Fighting a Substance Abuse Disorder? You aren’t alone!

My name is Ryan and I live in recovery from a substance abuse disorder, specifically alcohol.

It took me 20 years of heavy drinking daily to say that out loud just about 6 years ago.  

But once I did, I could face it. With out it, I just kept on struggling in silence, holding my secret to myself and playing life as if I had it under control.  Thing is, I did not have it under control. Beer and Crown Royal had me at their will.

Keep Fighting in Life, You are worth it.

Life is tough, but you are tougher so just keep fighting each day.

Ryan, Marine Corps Veteran, nudist, and founder/blogger for everydaynudist.com showing is everyday bracelet he wears as a reminder to keep fighting.

Keep fighting in life.

This will be a quick blog and I am not sure who needs to hear it, however, I was compelled to jump on and type this simple message out to you: Keep fucking fighting.

Everyday we are faced with challenges that push us, pull us, or make us want to simply give up.

Act Naturally

Two stepsisters inherit their father’s nudist resort and have to choose whether to run the business or sell it.

Act Naturally

I was scrolling through my Amazon Firestick the other day and I came across a movie that had a cover picture that said “no shoes no shirt no problem” as it covered up the backsides of a group of people standing there looking in the other direction.

Of course, I was intrigued so I clicked on the preview for a movie called Act Naturally. I won’t go through the movie as you can see the trailer here.

While the movie didn’t get good ratings on Rotten Tomato I will tell you I enjoyed the movie for one simple reason: it is a realistic portrayal of what non-nudist (called textiles) think of nudist, and what happens when you visit a nudist resort if you aren’t comfortable.

I found it quite comical from the two estranged sisters disgusted by the older men walking by, to staring at penis’s and their udder fear when being around everyday people who aren’t wearing clothes.

Empathy and Compassion

Two traits that are missing in common society.

Ryan, owner/blogger of everydaynudist.com

Empathy and Compassion. Two traits that are missing in common society.

Have you ever looked around and wondered what the hell is wrong with our society and people today?

Why is it that people are constantly at each other throats?

Is it because here in America we have been strategically divided into two separate political parties and have been pitted against each other? This is done through the media, our politicians, and from each other.
