Nature and Mental Health 2 (Glacier National Park)

Hello from beautiful Glacier National Park in Montana!

Another great study showed that just noticing nature in your everyday surroundings elevates both your mood and your sense of connectedness to other people. You don’t even have to be around other people to feel more connected to them! This is good news for introverts everywhere!

I hope you’ll share your experiences of nature making you feel more connected below!

Nature and Mental Health

Hello from beautiful Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada!

A study found that walking in nature versus walking in the city was associated with lower activity in the brain centers that lead us to ruminate and focus on negative emotions. This has been my experience – the more I walk through these mountains, the less I think about the past or future – I’m in the moment and it’s a beautiful one.

I hope you’ll share your experiences of nature impacting your mental health below!
