Everyone knows why spending time outdoor is beneficial – it can reduce stress levels, rejuvenate mind and body, and be more productive. Thus, we can relax and feel the earth rotating its axis!
Nature is a great reducer on our stress levels arising from the stressors of daily city life…traffic, financial woes, and life events that pound us down — like a death, family tragedy, inevitable disaster, etc. These events are out of our control and can cause tremendous struggle and pain for a period. But God, the creator of heaven and earth, endowed us with the works of thy hands…the great Mother Nature where a simple visit and meditation for a moment give us the feeling of bliss that will unplug the burden in our mind and body from performing our repetitive tasks. It undoubtedly helps unwind upon seeing the scenic landscapes that beholden our eyes… pristine rivers and lakes, beaches, mountains, birds, and wild animals! By appreciating the works of thy great hands and relaxing our mind and body it lowers stress hormone levels.

Moreover, spending time with nature will rejuvenate our mind and body. Since our body is at rest, it provides our brain the downtime it needs to recharge- something more easily achieved in nature’s serene environment. Capturing the sunrise in the mountain alone gives you a feeling of satisfaction. The colors are so unique; it makes you instantly forget everything. The great outdoors humbly offers a welcome change of pace and chance to recharge. The natural landscape – breathtaking scenery and plenty of mountainous terrains – makes it a prime location for a trail running.
Research showed that the fresh air we breathe comfortably improves blood pressure and act as a natural antidepressant by increasing the release and metabolism of serotonin in parts of the brain that control cognitive function and mood. Thus, a feeling of rejuvenation…relieving the stressors that look like a buffalo pulling at our back in our routine activities!
It is surprising for us to know that the connections with our dear Mother Nature will keep us more productive, live longer, and keep us healthy. Studies showed that when people reported for work after spending some time in nature from vacation, they return with more creativity and able to deal the problems about the family and the routine work effectively.
Living on this habitable planet is beautiful but when we are involved in activities that feel like we are struggling in pain, it is sensible to give some ample time to unwind with our Mother Nature. It is free of charge. Sometimes it is best to escape the city crowds: hit the outdoors and explore the breathtaking landscapes.
The psalmist and the prophets invite us to spend some time with Nature. The Bible puts it,
“For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12.
No wonder that spending time with the Great Outdoor is relaxing. Visit and relax, please!
