8 Reasons Why Nature Makes Us Feel So Good
Do you feel really good and happier when you are out in nature? I personally have experienced feeling really good whenever I spend time out in nature. Here are 8 reasons why I believe nature makes us feel so good.
Easy To Feel Gratitude
It is easier to raise your energy and feel grateful when you experience all the beauty you have been blessed with by your creator when you are out in nature.
You get to experience the beautiful colors of the sunrise/sunset, the scenic mountains, the vastness of the ocean and all the creations that live within it, the energy and love that you feel from all the greenery and trees, the beautiful colors that you see around in the flowers, the birds, etc.
Experience Mindfulness
Whenever you are out in nature and away from all of life’s distractions and stressors, it is easier to be mindful, focused, present, and experience things in your surroundings at the moment through your five senses (sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound).
Admire and see all the beauty around you, smell the grass, and flowers, and listen to the birds chirping, the sound of the waves, and leaves rustling in the wind. Touch and feel the texture of tree barks that have been around for years.
If you are unable to go out looking out through a window at nature, your garden or pictures of the scenic natural world can also give you positive therapeutic benefits.
Makes You Feel Relaxed
It is relaxing and peaceful to be out in nature. When you are in a relaxed state your physical health will improve, your heart rate will slow down, and your blood pressure will reduce and you may also see an increase in your life span.
Improves Your Emotional State
Spending time out in nature is known to improve your overall mood and mental and emotional state.
Your brain will reduce the release of stress hormones and instead release happy hormones in your body, and that will help you feel happier and more relaxed, loving, and more aligned with your higher self and soul.
Makes You Feel Connected
Whenever you are out in nature you feel very much connected to the rest of nature and all the other creations that live within it. We have all been created by the same creator and are very much energetically connected.
Makes You Feel Abundant
You will automatically feel abundant being in nature and in the presence of natural abundances like different species of trees, flowers, bodies of water like ocean, river, lake, birds, and other varieties of creatures both on land and in the water.
You live in a very abundant beautiful world that was created for you by our creator to admire and enjoy. Abundance is your birthright.
Makes You Feel Harmonious
You will feel harmonious because everything around you is in harmony, cooperation, and working in divine order. All the trees are in harmony with each other they are not competing for attention.
They are not trying to get all the wind, all the rainwater. You will see different colored flowers growing and not competing, and different sizes of trees grow and not get affected by other trees and their length.
There are no signs or examples of superiority and I am better than you kind of energy and feeling out in nature.
Everything in nature functions in cooperation for example the birds get the worms which are how the food chain works. Lots of the creation would not be able to survive and become extinct if that was not the case.
Improves Your Sleep
Going out in nature especially first thing in the morning is very beneficial for your circadian rhythm and will help you sleep better at night.
Enjoy watching the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening by going out in nature twice a day if possible. Mother nature puts up spectacular shows twice a day and the colors are never the same.
