Sunflowers and Nature Healing

A field of Sunflowers saved me.

Such soothing medicine after a long, stressful, and very busy week.

Being in nature reduces stress, anxiety, and fear. Because we are wired to find trees, plants, water - and vast sunflower fields - engrossing, we are absorbed by them and distracted from our pain and discomfort.

.

Time in nature also increases our ability to be present. Because we find nature inherently interesting we can naturally focus on what we are experiencing and take a break from our overactive minds.

According to studies, time spent in nature connects us to each other and the larger world bringing us stronger feelings of unity 💚
