Wellness director of the first hotel of silence in Russia, Mira Silentium, Elena Baskakova, told RuNews24.ru about how the natural environment has a strong influence on our inner balance, allowing careerists to regain control over themselves.
“Despite the love of most people for walks in the park or forest, many do not realize how important outdoor recreation is. In fact, it is communication with nature that helps restore vitality and energy balance, which becomes almost impossible in the conditions of city bustle and noise. Man, being the crown of evolution, often forgets about his roots and that we are inextricably linked with nature,” the expert shared.
Scientific research confirms that being in nature has a positive effect on mental health. Nature helps:
- Reduce stress;
- Improve mood;
- Increase concentration;
The concept of "biophilia" developed by Edward Wilson states that communication with nature is embedded in our genetic memory. At the same time, the beauty and harmony of the surrounding world cause us admiration and peace.
Unfortunately, most people become urbanized hermits, and time spent in nature turns into a rare event. However, it is active recreation in the fresh air that promotes the production of hormones of joy and reduces anxiety.
Regular trips to nature can significantly affect your physical and mental state. Among the benefits that you can feel after relaxing in nature:
- Normal pulse and blood pressure
- Excellent mood
- High stress resistance
- Sustainable mental health
- Restored vitality
Although there are projects in the city that allow you to restore strength in a short time, a full-fledged rest in nature provides a unique opportunity for deep recovery. A “day off” may be effective, but for many of us, nature remains a source of peace and tranquility.
Don’t forget about the importance of outdoor recreation. Don’t let your career aspirations overshadow the need to take care of your mental and physical health. And remember: recreation and nature are inseparable concepts! Spending time outdoors not only improves your well-being, but also takes a step towards harmony with yourself and the world around you.
