Motivation Monday: Go Outside

If you find yourself feeling stressed going out into nature could help in reducing it. A study found that when you spend time in nature, your mood improved. Researchers found that being outside led to a more calmed and destressed feeling. That's because being out in nature helps restore your mood and calms the mind. And additional benefits, it helps to restore your attention span and usually doesn't cost anything to be outside.

So to get this mood improving benefits, you don't have to spend hours hiking in the woods or going on long walks (unless that's what you love to do) but somethng as simple as a five minute walk, sitting outside or just being outside for a few minutes doing nothing except relaxing and enjoying nature will go a long way.

So if you find yourself dealing with a bit of stress and if possible, take a few minutes to go outside and enjoy nature. Also, don't forget the sunscreen.
