Every one of us has experienced stressful moments at some point in our lives. For some, these are really just moments, while others face long periods of heavy workload and anxiety, which certainly takes its toll.
Today's way of life, which often requires constant concentration, quick responses and results, frequently robs us of the time we should dedicate to ourselves and our needs. But we should not forget, we are most important to ourselves.
Below we have prepared some short tips for you on how to deal with stress with the help of nature.
Quick stress relief
You’ve probably heard of this advice at least once in your life. Only 30 minutes of walking per day is enough to keep your body moving. Of course, this is true, but with the addition of a walk in nature, these 30 minutes can get even better! No matter what happens, the weather, the time of a year or otherwise, half an hour is very little for the end result. After a short walk that will pass in the blink of an eye, you will feel “lighter” and more productive, and your thoughts will settle down. Many times a holiday in nature fills us with energy precisely because we take several walks and admire the surroundings. Because this way of relaxing takes very little time, it is easily doable and the results are amazing. Try it today.
Visualization
Visualization is an exceptional method with huge positive effects in overcoming fears, stress and worries. In moments when you feel overwhelmed but you may be at work, on public transport, or somewhere else where there is no opportunity for physical activity, we suggest visualization. Try to imagine walking among the trees in your favorite forest or observing flowers on a huge meadow you discovered recently. Everything is okay there and worries are unnecessary. Visualization can only take a few minutes, and with its help you will calm your thoughts and body, as well as help to solve existing problems with a positive attitude.
Activities and socializing in nature
Despite the fact that outdoor activities are carried out mainly in spring and summer, there is no need to forget about them in other seasons. Nature is a great place to do countless different activities with children, friends, a partner or by yourself. By moving, for example, practicing yoga from an apartment to nature, or playing badminton on a lawn instead of playing video games, you will add value to the activity and return home full of positive energy and gratitude. You will also use up extra energy and sleep more easily as your thoughts will be calmed.
Often people get caught in a vicious circle of repeating the same habits and routines that often get boring. Fridays with a glass of wine, Sunday movie nights, coffees in the same cafes, dinners in nearby restaurants, the same walking trails and so on. Try to spice up socializing with friends or family activities with a change. For example, instead of having coffee in the same cafe with a friend, suggest a weekend trip with a picnic in nature or by a nearby lake, where you can socialize a little differently with a beautiful view and some home-made snacks. We guarantee that the change will deepen your relationship. You will fell more relaxed and have new beautiful Instagram photos.
Escape to nature is always a good solution, especially if you are facing stress and overload. Book your holiday in the apartment Gaja Kranjska gora, where nature charms again and again.
