GET OUTSIDE

Yes, we have all had enough of the cold and damp weather. The pockets of sun and blue sky are teasing us, along with the show of spring flowers, but it is important to spend time outdoors daily to experience the healing power of nature no matter what the weather decides to do.

Many of us lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle but don’t realise just how nature-deprived we really are.

Embracing nature is therapeutic in so many ways and can help to reduce anxiety, depression and stress – appreciating everything around you will bring your body and mind into a calmer place.

Make sure you book in some nature time this weekend, look up from your phone (better still, leave it behind) and inhale the fresh air and listen to the surrounding sounds – let yourself relax, even for 10 minutes.
