De-Stress Month: Ecotherapy
By Tim Lochhead
Did you know getting outside and enjoying nature can benefit a variety of effects from depression to stress to better concentration?
Coined “Ecotherapy” by Mind, a mental health organization in Britain, getting outside and away from the city can help reduce stress and have a positive effect on how you feel.
There are 2 main restorative effects:
- Outright reduction in stress
- Recovery from mental fatigue
To be really effective, activities should take place in rural or natural settings.
As things start to warm up go on and get out there; green is good for you!
