Two things can really help to improve wellbeing. Art & Nature
Walking along the river Lea and the lake in Hertfordshire
Getting out into nature has been proven to be beneficial to our mental health. The town park is a great place to take a stroll or maybe along the river. Looking at water is like contemplating our very souls.
Water is the enabler that allowed life to begin and its magical properties are fundamental in its continuation. We have a lot in common as we mostly consist of water ourselves. Watching the rain drops and the flow of the river along with the sound is most therapeutic.
Music, writing and drawing
Art moves our souls and is source for inspiration. We need food to survive but we need art to give life its meaning. Art supports our psychological wellbeing, cultural links, and bonds us to our local community.
Try drawing your pet or your favourite character or object. Starting to write a journal at the end of each day is a great idea. You will be surprised how much you will start to enjoy it if you begin in a small way and do a little each day. Thirty minutes at some point each day works. And as long as you keep going, it starts to get easier.
