Spending Time In Nature Reduces Depression, Anxiety, Stress
Seeing and bathing in “green” has a healing, calming and healthy impact
Stepping outdoors, ideally into nature of some sort even if it is just for a brief moment already lets your stress level go down.
Breathing fresh air and seeing “green” and nature has a healing, calming and healthy impact. Studies have shown that spending time in nature reduces depression, anxiety, and stress.
I would think we all know that we feel better and healthier when we are outside in nature. It seems common sense to me. Nature is good for you. Duh. Isn’t that obvious? Hasn’t that always been that way and nature has been known for being something good for us humans?
I had written about integrating nature into or lives in the past, then stopped because I felt it is ridiculous to write about something that is so obvious and normal.

For those of you who need some encouragement to spend more time outdoors and in nature — here are some insights to help you embrace the green outdoors.
