When we haven't had enough time in the
there's a part of us that switches off.
A meta-analysis from 2022 actually looked at 39 studies that examined the link between spending time in nature and mental health conditions.
92% of these studies demonstrated consistent improvements across any and every health outcome when individuals engaged with natural outdoor environments.
Mental health outcomes specifically improved
in 98% of these studies.
So not in 98% of people, 98% of these studies.
Physical and cognitive health outcomes as well showed improvements around 83 and 75% respectively.
That is a huge success rate.
If those studies were investigating a cure for a deadly disease, an 83, 75, 98% improvement, like that would represent a seismic result.
It would be making headlines.
Nature resets our brain like nothing else.
So if you are in a funk and you have the time or you can make the time, dedicate yourself to an outdoor day or an outdoor afternoon or an outdoor three to four hours once a week.
And even if it requires a little bit of travel, if you live in a big city, I really do think it's worth it.
It's fundamental.
Whilst you are outside, I have another strategy that you can combine with your prescribed nature time.
This is a combo.
And this is an exercise I started doing a little while ago to kind of overcome again some of that projected negativity I was having specifically towards others, which I'm not proud of, but it was happening recently.
What I did to counteract that sense of like, everybody's annoying, everybody's in my way, everybody's blah, blah, blah, was that as I was walking, running, riding, whatever it was, as people passed me by, I made myself focus in on one person at a time, one after another, and every single person I had to give them a compliment in my mind.
So if I was sitting on the tube and there was five people in front of me, I would silently have to go one, two, three, four, five, and give them all a compliment.
