Let Nature Heal All Your Fear, Worry And Pain - Just Breathe It In

8/16/2021

Growing up, it seemed like your parents were always telling you to go outside and play. But, now that you’re older, you have more important things to worry about. You have a 40-hour workweek and a family to take care of. What you might not know is that nature can be healing. And, you don’t have to do anything more than to go outside to experience these effects.

The Benefits of Going Out Into Nature

There are plenty of benefits that come with going out into nature and truly experiencing the planet’s natural beauty. According to research published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, here’s a look at some of the possible benefits of exposing yourself to the sights, sounds, and smells of nature, according to research published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

Fewer fears and worries and less anxiety
A calming sensation across the body and mind
Stronger immune system
Lower blood pressure and heart rate
Improved mood and reduced risk of depression
Greater relaxation and stress relief

What’s even better is that some of these effects are produced immediately. You may feel apprehensive or stressed out before visiting a local park and feel a sense of relief as soon as you hear the chirping of the birds.

How To Get Into Nature

Though America is very much a developed country, there are plenty of locations throughout the nation that give you the chance to explore nature. America is currently home to 62 National Parks, nearly 7,000 state parks, and countless local parks that you can visit. Let’s go over what you can do to get into nature to reap the benefits.

Figure Out What Calms You

Some things in nature will be much more calming to you than others. The first thing you want to do is figure out what calms you personally.

For example:

Do you enjoy the sounds of rushing water or a trickling stream?
Do you enjoy seeing every color of the rainbow in the flowers and trees in autumn?
Do you love the smell of newly bloomed flowers in early spring?

Whatever you love about nature that calms you the most, find somewhere that allows you to experience those specific things.

Turn Off Your Devices

According to the American Psychological Association, about 86% of Americans will check their phone constantly. So, to truly get the most out of your journey into nature, you’ll want to turn off your phone or tuck it away into your backpack. It allows you to truly focus on the world around you and escape the fear, worry, and pain that’s currently overwhelming you.

You are just going to the park, and hearing the birds chirping might be enough for you to calm you down and bring you back to the present moment. But, to truly experience nature as it was meant to be shared, you need to give yourself time to enjoy it.

That means make your trips into nature on days where you don’t have other obligations. Set aside a few hours for a 5-mile hike or an entire day to explore a state park. That way, you don’t have to rush around to see everything or look back in regret thinking you missed something.

Nature is something that very few people genuinely appreciate fully. But it’s known to produce healing effects and can improve your mental state indefinitely. When you get out into the forest, on top of a mountain, or along the shoreline, take the time to appreciate the sights, sounds, and smells. You’ll never feel as calm or free as you will when you’re out in the real world.
