Nature and Stress Reduction
Benefits of the Great Outdoors
Spending time in nature is a powerful stress reliever. Research shows that being surrounded by greenery lowers cortisol and improves mood. In the U.S., forest therapy and eco-therapy are growing trends as more people seek outdoor experiences to unwind.
Even a short walk in the park can reduce tension and improve your mental clarity. Whether hiking, gardening, or simply sitting outdoors, regular exposure to nature can significantly lower stress and promote well-being.
