Content: Exploring the outdoors – whether you’re walking, hiking, biking, swimming, or camping – can improve your mood and your self-esteem. Increased blood circulation to the brain, as well as the release of “happy” chemicals like serotonin and endorphins, help contribute to this increased sense of well-being. Nature Helps You See the Bigger Picture
Your daily routine can cause anxiety and stress that can feel overwhelming. Escaping the rat race and retreating to the great outdoors can help you see a bigger perspective. You will begin to see that life is more than just your cubicle or your office. Being outdoors will allow you to see the world as a big, bright, interconnected community.
