It is something we all know. If we don’t know intuitively then we do through previous studies, but a current study concludes that the more time you spend in the outdoors close to nature, the more alive you feel. A recent article published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology says that getting close to nature is more rejuvenating to the body than drinking a cup of coffee. Physically and mentally we are more vibrant and alive when we step out into nature. Their conclusion is that the more time we can spend in a natural setting the more resilient we will be to protect ourselves from physical illness. Nature is fuel for the soul.

Going out into nature to lift our spirits also strengthens us physically, increasing our use of the senses, giving us the ability to be more in tune with a greater capacity to pay attention. We are kinder and more gentle beings when we are more in touch with the world of nature.

If we don’t take time to get away from the everyday on the go environment which we sometimes get intensely involved we do not function as effectively. It’s as though we become like a caged animal that begins to withdraw and experience unexplained illnesses. We need the green outdoors for our wellbeing.

In this particular study they did five different experiments with 537 college students. In this study the vitality levels of those who spent just 20 minutes a day consistently in the outdoors significantly rose.

We naturally connect with living things and when we are in the outdoors in nature we flourish. If you are feeling tired and listless go outside and breathe the fresh air and feel the sunshine on your face.

The primary reason for NOT using unsightly brackets , nails , glue , or lag hangers is that it creates a stronger resilience against wind pressure .
