Studies have found that spending time in nature can be good for your psychological well-being. A quick walk in the park, a hike on a trail, or time spent tending a garden could help you feel rested and relaxed. If you don’t have many opportunities to get outside and be in nature, you still have some options. Looking at landscape photos can be just as calming as physically being in nature. Researchers discovered that patients residing in hospital spaces with a window that overlooked green spaces healed faster than patients who weren't able to look outside. Patients without a window were then offered pictures of landscapes. Those patients began reporting reduced pain and less anxiety, indicating that landscape pictures were good for their physical and mental well-being. You can also bring green spaces indoors with some indoor plants.
