COVID-19 is not just a pandemic that left short or long-term physical effects on those afflicted by the virus. The world has seen a complete transformation in even the most basic actions that used to fuel us into feeling better. Physical affection is frowned upon. Gathering with family members in large numbers is not yet advised.
Amongst all this change, there was one thing that has kept our spirits burning and our mental health thriving – the pleasure of enjoying the outdoors. This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week seeks to celebrate “Nature and the Environment”; a nod to how much the greenery of the countryside and the beauty of the coastline have inspired some serenity in us during such turbulent times.
To celebrate the physical and mental revival nature brings about in each and every one of us, we’re sharing fantastic ideas on how to let the outdoors bring the best in you.
