Q1. It's no wonder, we are used to our temperature-controlled homes, easy-
access cars, trains, etc. Spending so much time indoors surrounded by
fluorescent lighting, heater, A/C and technology has provided us with
comforts, but has also disconnected us from our roots. Spending time with
yourself can have long term positive effects on your health, mood and overall
wellbeing. Write any five ways to discover inner peace using nature.
Answers
1. Find Nature In Your Surroundings
The next time you feel stressed or maybe just tired of the monotony of your daily routine, recognize the need to recharge and take a step outside and get some fresh air. Even if you live in a big city or don’t have easy access to wilderness, there’s always somewhere you can escape to appreciate the elements of the environment. Whether it’s in your patio, backyard, or a nearby metropolitan park, just find somewhere a bit more peaceful than the hustle and bustle of your daily routine.
2. Practice Sensory Awareness
Whenever you make a conscious effort to be fully present in a particular moment, you will notice your senses being heightened. Once you get comfortable in the environment you’re in, find at least one element of nature to immerse your presence in . Practice full awareness as you listen to the sounds of the birds chirping, feel the cool wind breeze on your arms, inhale the musky smell of the woods, and observe the vivid colors of the tree leaves. Be sure to fully engross yourself in the tranquility and notice how your body feels as a result. My favorite part about being in nature is how simple the environment makes it to be present.
3. Bring Nature Into Your Home
Cultivate natural life within your home by adopting houseplants, planting fresh herbs, or maybe even growing a vegetable garden. Indoor plants have been scientifically proven to uplift moods, improve concentration, and stimulate creativity. By bringing natural elements into your home, you will establish a sense of calm and enable relaxation within your indoor environment.
4. Nature soothes
nature helps us cope with pain. Because we are genetically programmed to find trees, plants, water, and other nature elements engrossing, we are absorbed by nature scenes and distracted from our pain and discomfort.
This is nicely demonstrated in a now classic study of patients who underwent gallbladder surgery; half had a view of trees and half had a view of a wall. According to the physician who conducted the study, Robert Ulrich, the patients with the view of trees tolerated pain better, appeared to nurses to have fewer negative effects, and spent less time in a hospital. More recent studies have shown similar results with scenes from nature and plants in hospital rooms.
5. Nature heals
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell.
Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.
