Being able to connect with nature has many wonderful benefits both
for the good of one’s mental health and physical health. Nature is one
of gifts to human kind and learning to appreciate it should
be everyone’s priority. However sadly this is not so, as everyone is
busy rushing around trying to keep their lives in order.
Outdoors
Communing with nature will allow a person to slow down and just
enjoy what is there for free. It only requires the individual stop and
“soak” it all in. spending more time outdoors is one way to connect
with nature. Playing or just walking in the park is a healthy way to
relax and enjoy each other’s company or to just be alone with the
beauty offered by nature.
When one is able to consciously connect with nature there will be a
significant change in both body and mind. These changes that happen
are positive in nature and very beneficial to an individual. Taking the
time to really relax and focus on just the pleasure of nature and some
quiet time, will allow the body to recharge and yet achieve a certain
level of calmness which is gotten from being connected to nature.
All age groups should be taught to stop and connect with nature as
often as possible. For kids playing outdoors, taking a nature walk or
even working in an environment where they are exposed to animals
will help build so many positive attributes in them.
When it comes to teens it may not be as simple. To expect them to
spend time with nature can be quite a challenge. However
encouraging them to take up an outdoor sport, engaging in seasonal
projects that require the outdoor experience or simply learning about
the different naturally garnered foods, are just a few ways to entice
them to be more connected to nature.
