What’s nature got to do with my happiness?
And why smelling the flowers is so important.
Spending time in nature helps you because...
your brain works better
better memory
longer attention span
you feel happier
even if there is rain, dirt & mosquitoes
in all likelihood
your memory of your experience in nature will make you
happier
you get a sense of meaning for life
you feel connected
to nature
to other people on our planet
to all beings
you feel inspired & (re)invigorated
to do good work
to help others
So do you have to drop everything and spend a two weeks backpacking to get the benefits?
No
It’s really about incorporating nature into your everyday life
Thoughtfully
Little things count
Eat dinner in the backyard
Bring your paperwork outside
Live with plants
in the office
at home
everywhere!
Pin it up!
if you can’t put plants in your space (or have a black thumb) put up posters of nature around you
and on laptop’s your screen saver
and on your phone’s wall paper
Appreciate the beauty
on a walk
as the seasons change
everywhere!
What other ways can you bring nature into your life?
