Being around nature is something that improves our mental health and overall psychological state of mind. But why is this, what is it about nature that makes us feel better? Here’s why we believe that being in nature truly improves our overall well-being.
It’s An Intrinsic Part of Who We Are
We are, as human beings, natural creatures. Therefore, as you might expect, we are very much connected to all natural things around us—including the plants, trees, and mountains in our world. For this reason, being around nature is one of the best things you can do for your mental health, because it connects you to something you’re already close with. You just don’t know it yet!
It Separates You From Distractions
Another reason nature is so good for our mental health is that is that it takes us away from all the distractions of our modern world. This is especially true in our 21st century society of smartphones, laptops, social media followings—you get the idea. These things can all be fun distractions and even a little addicting, but too much is not a good thing. This is why it’s crucial to be around nature so that we can reconnect with our universal truth of being.
