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!
