The Power Of Nature-How Nature Transforms Your Mental Health

Why do I spend time in nature every day?
I’ve talked a lot about my love for helping others.

So today, I wanna talk about another love:
→    Nature (my secret friend)

Here are 3 reasons why I spend time in nature every day.

1.    Nature boosts my mood

I grew up in the South
Also called “The United States Sunbelt.”

The South is all about:

→    Farms
→    Sun and Sand
→    An amazing blue sky

For me, the green and blue of nature boost my mood.
And it’s not just me.
Many studies show that nature’s colors are amazing for mental health.
Now, I’m not saying I was always happy just because of nature.
I think I’ve got great DNA.
But that magical environment played a crucial role in my life.

And still does.
That’s why I spend time in nature every day.
Or at least, I take micro-breaks to look out of the window.

2.    Nature boosts my focus

There’s a reason I look at nature during my breaks at work.
And it’s not just for relaxation.
Nature helps me stay focused for the next hour.

Normally, my micro-breaks include:
→    Walking
and, at the same time
→    Looking at nature
For just 20-30 minutes.
This means that, in those 20-30 minutes, I boost my focus by:
→ Increasing my heart rate
→ Enjoying those magical nature colors.

3.    Nature boosts my creativity

Guess when I got all my creative ideas during times?
Exactly — during those walks.
I still remember the trips back home.

My creativity got an immediate boost.

Now, if I want a quick and deep boost of creativity, I do two things:
→    I look at nature
and, at the same time
→    Listen to music
Music and mental health go hand in hand.

You know that, right?

These are 3 reasons why I spend time in nature each day.
Um, I should probably talk about the fourth reason…
But that’s another story for another day…
