Good morning, readers!


Today, I’m writing from home, away from the Wantirna Knox area and I want to talk about something truly refreshing.


 the benefits of being in nature and how it can positively impact mental health.

How good does it feel to be outdoors?


 Whether taking a walk in the forest, spending time at the beach, or simply being surrounded by a beautiful garden, nature has an incredible way of calming the mind. 


I love waking up in the morning and sitting in the garden. It sets a peaceful tone for the rest of the day, and I encourage you to try it might just bring you the same sense of tranquillity.


Spending time in nature offers significant mental health benefits. It helps reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels, allowing for a clearer, more focused mind. 

It also increases serotonin and dopamine, chemicals in the brain that contribute to happiness and emotional wellbeing. 


A good night’s sleep is something we all appreciate, and being in natural surroundings can improve sleep quality by helping the body and mind relax.


 Lastly, nature encourages movement and supports physical health, further enhancing mental wellness.


I hope this inspires you to go for a walk in nature and experience its incredible benefits. 

Take a moment to soak in the tranquillity. Thanks for reading!
