MOTHER NATURE HEALS & RESTORES (Disconnect to Reconnect)

“Nature deprivation,” a lack of time in nature is associated with depression. More unexpected are studies by Weinstein and others that associate screen time with loss of empathy and lack of altruism.

Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell.

Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.
