Find Your Calm in the Wild
Do you sometimes feel overpowered by stress or caught in the chaos of an anxious mind? Everyday life can be overwhelming. Nature has the power to calm your mind, nourish your soul, and restore a sense of balance. The benefits of spending time in nature are incalculable.
At Nature on My Mind, we explore how spending time outdoors nurtures and heals. If you are seeking stress relief, nature can bring a sense of calm. If you are seeking mindfulness, nature can help you focus. If you are looking for a deeper connection to the natural environment, step outside and discover the transformative effects of nature.
What Is Nature on My Mind?
Nature on My Mind is more than a blog—it’s a lifestyle rooted in reconnecting with the outdoors. Each human has an innate connection with nature, and it has an immense effect on our whole being. Neglecting your connection with nature can lead to nature starvation, a lack of sufficient exposure to the natural world. Nature starvation has negative effects on mental health.
But the remedy is simple: Get outside! Even small moments in nature can have positive effects on your mental health. Some of the benefits include stress reduction, recovering inner peace, boosting creativity, and cultivating a sense of well-being.
