Did you know that plants have a positive effect on the brain 🍃🧠 ?
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings (BLIJ!). Not only does it make you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing too. Nature isn’t just visually appealing, it supercharges your brain! 🌀✨
❔Did you know that fractals (the self-repeating geometric patterns in nature), actually stimulate your brain’s visual processing? 🌳👀
This leads to a feeling of calm and relaxation that dials down your stress levels and amps up your cognitive abilities! 🧘♀️💡
🌞🌱💦 Want to tap into this natural brain booster? Try integrating natural light, view plants, and the soothing sound of flowing water into your surroundings.
These 3 elements create a space that promotes mental clarity, cognitive performance, stokes creativity, and boosts overall resilience and well-being! 😌🎨💪
So go go go go! Even if it’s only for 15 min (leave your phone at home please 🙏🏽!)

Living in a city? No fear 🏙️! You can still reap these benefits. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Find your urban oasis: Seek out parks, rooftop gardens, or community gardens. They are your sanctuary amidst the concrete jungle! 🌲🏞️
2️⃣ Bring the outside in: Add plants and natural elements to your home or office. Even a tiny potted plant can brighten your mood and sharpen your thinking! 🪴🏠
3️⃣ Take a nature walk: Look for urban trails, botanical gardens, or nearby nature reserves. These green escapes offer a break from the city’s hustle and bustle! 🚶♂️🌼
I am out now, BYEEEAAAA! 👋 🌱
