There is pleasure in the
pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where
none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less,
but Nature more.
It was raining since
evening. Gazing through the window outside I saw tiny droplets on the leaves of
giant trees made me to appreciate the beauty of the nature.
Simple as it
sounds, connecting with nature can make you feel better. Being in contact with nature,
even in small ways (like noticing the spring flowers or putting a plant in your
office), can take you a step away from your daily grind, and lead you to feel
more positive and calm.
It’s true that most
discussion about environment issues tends to center on how helping nature in
turn benefits humanity and the earth at large. But nature can benefit the
individual’s psyche, too. Some of the documented benefits that can come from
human interaction with nature are: reduced stress and anger, better cognitive
performance, increased positive affect (including feelings of calm and awe), a
sense of connection to something larger than the self, and a more concrete
awareness of the life cycle.
Here are some relatively simple
ideas:
▪
Put a plant in your home or office
▪ Put up nature photos or screen
savers that depict nature vistas or water scenes
▪
Shop at the local farmers
market
▪
Exercise outdoors
▪
Take leisurely walks in the
greener areas of campus
I would like to conclude by
suggesting all of you to be in touch of nature in your life and preserve it so
that our future generations can also be benefitted by the power of nature.
