Breathe In Fresh Air
Nature has a profound effect on people. Disconnecting from the digital world and taking a walk outside can do a lot. Research found that spending just 20 minutes outside in pleasant weather can improve your mood and even make you more creative and productive. So next time you are feeling listless or can’t concentrate at work, take a walk during your lunch break. You will come back feeling refreshed and ready to rock.
No wonder places like the UK have allowed doctors to prescribe time out in nature as a treatment for depression. However, the kind of weather you experience can also play into your happiness. High winds and humidity have the opposite effect as sunshine and cool temperatures on your health. In fact, one study found that happiness outdoors reached its max when it was a brisk 57 degrees Fahrenheit (13.9 degrees Celsius).
Additionally, if you return to the first point, you can use this as a chance to go for a hike or camping, so you blend some exercise with nature and get double the impact.
