Don’t forget to go outdoors!
How the outdoors rejuvenates your soul.
With the busy schedules and commitments that we bear every single day, and the heavy cloud of technology that engulfs us, a minute outdoors may be hard to come by. But nothing is more refreshing and rejuvenating to the soul than some uninterrupted quiet moments with nature.
Why the outdoors is great for you:
- Offers an escape
The outdoors will offer you the safest escape from your fast life. It will inspire you to alienate your thoughts from your worries and to switch off your phone and computer as you get lost and marvel at the beauty of nature. Your soul is given a tranquil recess from all the buzzing and frenzy of life.
- Clears your mind
When you’re outdoors, all your senses are optimized when you breathe the fresh air, see the scenic landscapes, when you hear the sweet sound of birds singing, and you feel the sun and grass or sand on your skin. Your brain is stimulated and rewards you by releasing therapeutic hormones that make you feel freed and re-energized.
- Allows for reflection
With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s almost impossible to have a truly quite moment to think about your life. Connecting with nature allows you to quiet down your thoughts and have a clear perspective on things. It also allows you to pause and think about all the wonderful things in your life which can often be overlooked.
- Gets you in touch with your inner elements
Nature has a mysterious effect of awakening our spirits and our true selves. In those precious moments, you are able to connect with your purpose and to become aware of your role in the universe.
- Fosters Mindfulness
When you’re in tune to nature’s aura then you develop a natural inclination to become mindful. You become aware of the present moment; you pay more attention to your breathing and focus on bodily sensations. You also become conscious of your soul’s intention to interact with something larger than itself by sensing and acknowledging the grandeur and glory of nature.
Incorporating mindfulness in everyday activities enables us to handle the challenges we face and to enjoy and cherish every minute of our lives.
