See how Nature is helpful in make you Happier

From bathing in the woods to thrashing, you must have heard a lot from your friends who practically live on REI and even on this site, about the benefits of nature for your own well-being. But why is nature important for happiness?

 

1: Nature boosts your mood

So why is nature important? Well, first of all, connecting with it adds a lot of joy to the whole board. Feeling connected to something outside of yourself - whether it's your family or something that matters to you - can help you feel happy. But research shows that feelings connected to nature can make people happy even if they have other connections with them.

 

Can't spend every waking moment outside. The good news is - you don't have to. Even a little interaction with nature can help you make that connection. For example, looking at some good things in the natural world every day (even the tree outside your window) can help you get more involved with nature and make you happier.

 

2: Relieves stress and anxiety

Research has shown that spending time in nature relieves stress and anxiety. Although walking in less urban green is most effective, the good news is that even brisk walking in a city park can relieve stress. As a bonus, some research also suggests that going out can benefit your memory and other cognitive skills.

 

Going through nature - especially the forest - can reduce stress and anger. It can also help slow down your heartbeat, which in turn calms you down.

 

3: Spending time in nature as a child leads to lifelong benefits

Getting out in nature is good for everyone, but growing up with youth can be rewarding.

 Research shows that growing up with green space exposure is associated with a lower risk of mental health problems in adolescence. So if you have kids (or know some young people), it's time to take them out. Both of you will benefit now, and they will benefit as you get older.

 

 4: Getting outside starts a happy cycle

Here's how it works: People who spend more time in green spaces are more likely to be strongly connected to the natural world. And when people feel connected to nature, they spend even more time in it. It is a time of communication and time in nature, which has more health benefits.

In addition, according to research, spending more time in nature leads to more environmentally friendly behavior. This means that people who spend time outside are more likely to take action to thrive in nature, which means that more people can reap the benefits of spending time outside. Talk about a positive spiral.

 

5: Just having nature around you has benefits

Spending time outdoors is an easy way to increase your happiness. But it also shows that having a green space around you can help you be happier.

New research shows that people who live in states that spend more on "public goods" - in which you estimate, green space - are happier than people who live in those states. There are those who do not. What else? This green space often includes public parks, which not only make you happier by nature, but also help build a community and increase property values. And both of these things make people happy.

In other words, green space brings many benefits, both individually and collectively.
