Connect with Nature from CommonHealth
Forest therapy walks are a wonderful way to slow down, enjoy nature, and boost your immunity and health! You can do a version on your own by picking a safe trail; leaving all distractions behind (including devices—at least turn them to silent). Engage all your senses and notice what you can hear, taste, smell, touch, and see as you slowly stroll. Be in the moment and connect with nature. Virginia State Parks and your Wellness Wednesday team encourage you to “Opt Outside” this upcoming holiday season for incredible memory making opportunities!
If you only have a few moments, try watching this water montage and take in the calm sound and mesmerizing movement. Water has been known to have a calming effect, so bookmark our YouTube channel for access to stress relief by basking in nature anytime you need it. The link is https://youtu.be/99jfrY3iBcs .
