In today’s fast-paced world, feeling overwhelmed and stressed is easy. One way to combat negative emotions is by connecting with nature. When you spend time outdoors, in a park, forest, or backyard, you significantly impact your mood and overall well-being.
Nature calms the mind and soothes the soul. Fresh air, gentle leaves rustling, and birds chirping all help reduce stress and anxiety. Studies show time in nature lowers cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress, and improves overall mental health.
Try stepping outside and taking a walk in nature the next time you’re feeling down or anxious. Take notice of the wonders around you. Breathe in the fresh air, and let the sounds of nature wash over you. Connecting with nature is a simple yet powerful way to boost your mood and improve your mental health.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
