Spending time in nature, whether that’s a swim in the sea, a picnic in a local park or a hike up a mountain, has many benefits for mental health and well-being. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood and help relaxation. This is particularly helpful when it comes to eco-anxiety. Using the environment and nature to support you to manage your anxiety about these very things allows you to strengthen your relationship with the environment. It also acts as a reminder of what we still have and the beauty and power of nature.
