Take a moment to appreciate. Take a moment to look. Take a moment to listen. Take a moment to live. These are all positive commands that can bring us mental and physical health.
People in hospital who see greenery whether it's looking out the window or a picture on the wall, heal quicker and have less re-curing illness. Crime goes down when green areas are introduced into build-up areas, less domestic violence. People start communicating around that area, bringing their dogs, nodding to their neighbours.
Eco-therapy it's called. Walking among trees can lift the mood as trees excrete feel-good hormones into the air.
Tuning into the wonder of creation observing the miracle of life all around us can give such hope but it's up to us to listen and observe ourselves to see what is uplifting and wholesome for us personally. And then to seek it more often. To steal away to connect to the source of energy and compassion which is there somewhere for you.
It works for me... when I allow myself time out to do it.
