Nature and your Mental Health

There are many benefits of getting outside and surrounding yourself in nature. You do not have to go far or walk miles to feel the benefits. If you have a garden, you can sit and watch the birds or the insects, feel the wind or the warm summer sun on your face, and take time to listen to the birds singing. So why is it good for your mental health? Well according to Mind Jersey, being out in nature can: 
- Improve your mood 
- Reduce stress levels 
- Can help you to meet new people 
- Helps you to take time out
