GreenSpace and stress management

in nature •  7 years ago 

We all go through experiences in life that test our faith, security and create anxiety. It is so important to take time to pray, count your blessings and connect with nature. These past few days I have done just that and it has given me peace through one of the most trying events my family has experienced. I want to say thank you to everyone for their thoughts, prayers and love!

My father just recently went through emergency open heart surgery! He has always been in amazing shape spending hours exercising every week for most of my life. However, over the past few years stress from work and a changing business market has influenced him to spend more time working and less time exercising. It did not take long before he started putting on weight and spending less time outdoors doing things he has loved his entire life. The stress of these choices caught up to him and the result was almost deadly!

The article below explains recent research on green-space.
