It\u2019s something that\u2019s part of all of our lives, but not necessarily something many of us think about regularly. Americans spend too much time in front of their screens. According to What\u2019s the Big Data, the average American <a href=\"https:\/\/whatsthebigdata.com\/average-screen-time-stats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spends more than 7 hours<\/a> in front of a screen every single day. That\u2019s not healthy, and it also means we\u2019re not enjoying the outdoors. That\u2019s also important, as there is a direct link between nature and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to continue our look at <a href=\"https:\/\/socalempowered.com\/mental-health-self-care\/\">mental health self-care<\/a> with a dive into that link between nature and mental health. We\u2019ll offer some statistics that will hopefully prompt people to put their phones and tablets down more often and go outside. We\u2019ll also provide some ideas for what you can do to put the natural world around you to good use such that it protects your mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature and Mental Health: A Dwindling Set of Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We all live very busy lives. Unfortunately, that means that we don\u2019t generally spend as much time outside as many of us should. According to a survey appearing in <a href=\"https:\/\/natureofamericans.org\/findings\/topic-summary\/adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Nature of Americans<\/a>, a majority of adults spend 5 hours per week or fewer outdoors in nature. In addition, most respondents to the survey stated that they were satisfied with the amount of time they spend in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey went on to reveal that approximately three-quarters of the respondents stated that the interests that they pursue in nature are among their most enjoyable. That indicates that while people relish their time outside, they have also found a way to accept that the amount of time they do get is sufficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature and Mental Health: How One Helps the Other<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A growing body of literature is continuing to emerge that shows that spending time in nature directly benefits mental health. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mind.org.uk\/information-support\/tips-for-everyday-living\/nature-and-mental-health\/how-nature-benefits-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mind.Org<\/a>, spending time outside engaging in activities such as gardening or just being around animals can help people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Improve their mood that day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce anger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce stress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve physical health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Boost self-esteem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Connect with others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce feelings of isolation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these are everyday benefits that certainly help anyone who experiences them, several studies have shown that spending time outside can help reduce problems that include depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should not come as a surprise that spending time in nature helps people\u2019s mental health. What that does not solve, however, is the problem of how people are going to find a way to do this. As said, we are all very busy and most of us live in cities where nature is not just outside our doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you\u2019ll find some ideas for finding your way into nature that may ultimately help you find that balance that we all need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature and Mental Health: Some Ideas for Making It Happen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s assume for a minute that most people reading this article live in an urban environment where getting into nature is easier said than done. That\u2019s a challenge for millions of us in the United States, but it\u2019s hardly one that cannot be overcome. Below are some ideas for providing yourself and loved ones with the exposure to nature that helps all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don\u2019t Overthink It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, while the more time you spend in nature, the better, that doesn\u2019t mean that you have to spend hours there every day. Research has shown that even a few minutes outside can make a big difference in someone\u2019s day and overall health. If you live in a city, schedule 15-20 minutes per day \u2013 or even a few times per week at first \u2013 to walk through the nearest park. Parks may not be untouched areas of the world, but they are green and filled with fresh air. It can be done if you build it into your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Test Your Green Thumb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you live in a city, you most likely have some space somewhere to grow something. Start a garden \u2013 even a very small one, and even inside if necessary \u2013 and bring nature to you. Growing a plant or a few small crops such as tomatoes or spices can help you connect with nature and provide you with benefits that include a mental escape from the daily grind that beats everyone down over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Find a Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research also reveals that you\u2019re more likely to do something if you are doing it with others in a group. You\u2019re less likely to avoid doing something or talk yourself out of it if others are depending on you to show up. Look online for a local walking group or some other small community that pushes you to prioritize that time outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Walk Instead of Drive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re running errands one day and what you\u2019re doing is only a few minutes away by vehicle, plan to walk to that store or appointment instead of driving, assuming you don\u2019t have cargo to transport. It\u2019s the same mentality as taking the stairs instead of the elevator: You\u2019ll burn more calories, breathe more fresh air and avoid burning expensive gasoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Give It Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, while you will most likely feel an immediate boost in energy and mood as soon as you start spending time in nature, the long-term benefits tend to arrive when you build that time into your routine. Your body and brain will adjust to the regular intervals of fresh air and sunshine to the point where you\u2019ll be inherently driven to give yourself that break more often than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How SoCal Empowered Can Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, nature and mental health are linked, and the more time you spend in one, the bigger the benefit you\u2019ll enjoy with the other.
