Immersing oneself in nature can boost emotional health from "summary" of Your Brain On Nature by Eva M. Selhub, MD,Alan C. Logan

Immersing oneself in nature can have a profound impact on our emotional well-being. When we step outside and surround ourselves with the natural world, our brains are able to relax and rejuvenate. The sights, sounds, and smells of nature can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, allowing us to feel more calm and centered. Research has shown that spending time in nature can elevate our mood and decrease symptoms of depression. This is because nature has a way of lifting our spirits and helping us to see the beauty in the world around us. Whether we are taking a walk in the woods, sitting by a babbling brook, or simply gazing at a beautiful sunset, nature has a way of filling us with a sense of peace and contentment. Additionally, being in nature can help us to cultivate a sense of awe and wonder. When we are surrounded by the vastness and beauty of the natural world, we are reminded of our place in the universe and are able to put our own worries and problems into perspective. This can help to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness, and remind us that we are part of something much larger than ourselves. Furthermore, immersing oneself in nature can provide an opportunity for mindfulness and reflection. When we are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the natural world, we are able to be present in the moment and let go of our thoughts and worries. This can help to clear our minds and allow us to focus on what truly matters, leading to a greater sense of emotional well-being.
