The Happiness Effect of Nature Walks
Walking in nature has transformative powers
“To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles.” — Mary Davis
I always feel so refreshed and invigorated after a brisk walk in nature.
The fresh air boosts my mood. I love feeling the sunshine on my shoulders and the cool breeze brushing my cheeks.
I stroll past the homes in my neighborhood. Depending on the day, I am greeted by the aroma of succulent curries and grilled meats wafting through the air, the delightful smell of fresh linens, or the heavenly scent of wet earth after a rainfall.
I hike briskly along the walking trails. The ducks and geese waddle toward me. I marvel at the chirp of birds and the flicker of fireflies.
All my worries are forgotten. I am surrounded by nature. I am awed by its beauty. I am one with the world.
I return home, recharged and ready to take on the world.
