Get Outside for a Happiness Boost

Picture
Looking for a simple way to reduce stress and feel happier?  Get outside!  Research has shown a strong connection between time spent in nature (especially the woods) and reduced stress, anxiety, and improved moods. According to Harvard researchers, "When people are depressed or under high levels of stress,  they experience a continuous loop of negative thoughts," and the brain finds greenery, natural sounds and even outdoor silence to be  soothing.  Can't get outside? MRIs show that listening to nature sounds can have a similar effect.

    About the Author

    While developing and marketing products in the Beauty industry I naturally became interested in things associated with beauty, both inside and out. As I learned about nutrition, exercise, meditation, yoga, toxin-free skincare, mindfulness, clean eating... (and the list goes on) it became clear how important they all are not only to beauty, but to a healthy, balanced, happy life.  Volumes of information scattered across so many platforms felt overwhelming, and hard to use. Thus I decided to bring it all together in one place so it could be acted-on collectively.  This idea became Collective Wellness.  It is both an ever-growing collection of wellness information and a collective of people---a community that is  learning, growing and sharing the wellness journey together. I hope you join us.  Welcome to Collective Wellness!
