Nature has a calming effect on the mind. Studies have shown that spending time
outdoors lowers cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and can reduce feelings of
anxiety and depression. Being in natural environments also improves concentration
and focus, making it easier to return to tasks feeling refreshed.
Make an effort to step outside each day, even for just a few minutes. Whether it’s
a walk in your neighborhood or a weekend trip to a nature reserve, the benefits of
nature are undeniable.
