The Importance of Nature for Wellbeing
There is so much research available on why humans love nature and why it is important to us, and studies show physical activity in natural environments may be better for our body than activity elsewhere.
Engaging with the natural world can enhance your wellbeing by grounding you in the present moment and reminding you of the interconnectedness of all things.
Top 5 Tips for Finding Wellbeing In Nature
Get outdoors: One way to find your wellbeing in nature is to participate in outdoor activities that promote mindfulness and awareness. Consider organising a nature walk with friends or family, where you can take the time to observe the beauty around you.
Sharing feelings: Encourage everyone to share their thoughts and feelings as you explore, creating an open dialogue that promotes connection and understanding. This shared experience can help deepen your relationships, increasing wellbeing for all involved while also appreciating the environment.
Just sit and be: If you prefer a bit of alone time, the great outdoors is perfect to connect with yourself. Whether it’s taking a walk in the park on your own, spending time by the ocean, or even just sitting outside and breathing in the fresh air, you can connect with nature one to one. So take a few moments each day to ground yourself and focus on yourself.
Explore your passions outside: Use nature to explore your passions and spend time on your hobbies and creative outlets outside. Whether it’s painting outdoors, writing under a tree somewhere, or dancing like nobody’s watching, let yourself run wild outdoors and connect with your passion for nature for greater wellbeing.
Bring nature indoors: If you can’t get outside, consider incorporating natural elements into your home. This could include using flowers or greenery to decorate your home, preparing meals with seasonal ingredients, or even creating art inspired by the natural world.
