If you struggle with mental distress and want a boost of happy contentment then try and get outside. I know all too well it's often a challenge to find space in a busy day, especially when you are feeling a bit low. But really, get up, get outside and breathe in that air - you won't regret it. I am going to post ideas to inspire you (and myself). Let me know if you do get out and what it was like. Would love to hear what you have been up to, or if you have ideas to inspire others to get out in the great outdoors.
The first idea, courtesy of the Japanese, is called Shinrin-yoku - or the ancient art of Forest Bathing. According to world renowned expert Dr Li, walking in forests may
prevent the onset of chronic illnesses like cancers and heart disease, obesity and diabetes. According to Dr Li, Forest Bathing reduces anxiety, depression, anger, fatigue and feelings of emotional confusion. So, worth a try - you never know who, or what, you might come across (see picture).
I will never look at trees the same again, but will resist the urge to hug one. Happy wanderings.
