Journaling and Nature - A match made In Heaven
Journal, brain dump, scrap book, bullet journal whichever way you choose to let your creative side out by putting pen to paper, nature gives you all the inspiration and opportunity you need!
You could spend a lifetime reading studies on how nature, mindfulness, gratitude and creativity can help improve our general wellbeing. We all know the feeling that being in nature brings us. Recording that wonderful feeling can only be a good thing right?!
Journaling has many benefits:
- Improve memory
- Improve Concentration levels
- Relieve Stress
- Makes us aware of being in the present moment
- Enhances our creativity
- Improves focus
- Regulates our mood
- Helps us to problem solve
- Improve writing and communication skills
- Helps process emotions
- And can even be used to create distractions
Our brains are amazing things and we are only just starting to scratch the surface of how tiny little tweaks to our daily habits can make a huge difference in our mental wellbeing and overall health.
Having that one place to dump all your thoughts and clear your mind can help create a bit of inner peace. That childlike feeling of colouring and doodling brings a fresh and exciting feeling to stressful days. In a matter of minutes you can transport yourself to another world.
It doesn’t need to be a chore or another thing to add to your ever growing To Do List. Just keep a pen and a journal in your Day bag. While you are on your walks, just take a few minutes to sit and look around. What do you see? What do you hear?
We all have creativity inside us so don’t be scared to give it a try. Doodling trains the brain in ways that a digital devise doesn't. So put the phones down and get creative!
