Go Outside. Remain


So today I want to talk about something a bit more personal. Let's talk about nature in general. Lately I've been getting urges of wanderlust as it's been a good few weeks of me stuck in a city. I am here to talk to you about this and about why you should experience a piece of nature at least once a week.

Even if it's a walk in the woods, or a stroll down the beach, none can argue about the therapeutic effects that nature has on you.  It allows you to relax and change your setting. The longer you stay outside the more you don't want to return. I am not even saying that you should go to the wildest places available. Even your local woods can be important to your wellbeing. We've associated feeling good in nature with hippies and somehow that's bad. If you ever take more than two seconds, stop and observe nature you will understand what I mean. Just listening to the sounds of nature, feeling the dirt on your feet and smelling the air can change your outlook. Regardless of your beliefs, you can't argue that some nature is always good for you.

Try and incorporate nature to your schedule once a week. Visit your local botanical gardens, go picnic at a lake or even just drive to a great viewpoint and just enjoy a cup of coffee while taking in the view. It won't massively effect your life but mentally nature can have huge benefits towards your well being. Nature doesn't necessarily mean isolation or the wilderness. In Aberdeen, there are great spots to enjoy nature that are in the city itself.

Incorporate a bit of nature in your schedule every week. I promise you won't regret it.
