Regardless of your favorite outdoor activity, there are ways to heighten the experience and maximize the pleasurable, stress reducing qualities. One of the many reasons forest bathing and nature therapy is becoming so popular is because of its focus on presence, intention and mindfulness. Here are a few ways to incorporate some therapeutic elements into every outdoor experience, from paddling, boating and fishing to gardening, hiking, horseback riding, biking and everything in between.
BONUS: Reflect. What are you noticing about your experience? How did it make you feel? Journal your thoughts or share them with a friend. I would love to hear how you’re elevating your outdoor experiences. Send a message or tag me @naturalwanders.us.
