Nature Why You Need
Maybe there are lessons
nature can teach us that
we should incorporate
into other areas of our life.
Whether you are sitting in
the mountains or by the
ocean, nature has a way of
reminding us that there is
something bigger than us.
When we are facing the
pressures of life — work,
relationships, financial
— it can lead to a lot of
self-absorbed thoughts
like, “Am I good enough,”
“Am I being judged,” “Am
I being appreciated,” and
so on.
Having a moment to get
out of your own head to
notice the bigger picture
can be freeing. Things in
nature are interconnected.
When we sit with nature,
we naturally start to
reflect on our role in the
bigger picture and not in
our own personal world.
We often associate nature
with peacefulness. Even
if there is noise, there
is a quietness about the
outdoors. It can strip us
of manmade distractions.
This type of environment

it’s not uncommon for them to make a quick
stop at the beach to debrief before returning
to their day-to-day activities. In fact, I frequently
stop by the beach on the way to work and on
the way home. Being outdoors and immersed
in nature can revive and invigorate us. It’s as if it
hits the “reset” button in life.
