The Green Reset
Why not begin the next season with a really simple, life-changing resolution that is simple, has no cost, and contains immense mental and physical health benefits? Answer your call to the wild, get outside, and reconnect with Mother Nature any way you can, anytime you can.
Don’t wait until you have the time or energy. Just do it regularly! Much research shows the tremendous effect nature has on your mental and physical health. Human beings were meant to be nourished and fed by nature. Your mind, body, and soul need it. You can reconnect with Mother Nature every time you are outside. The wind blowing energizes you, the sun energizes you, and trees send you oxygen, beauty, and shade. The birds, butterflies, flowers, and other natural elements are tantalizing all your senses.
Reconnect With Mother Nature:
Helper’s high
Volunteering is called “helper’s high,” because it is so mentally healthy for you. The nature conservancy organizations need help such as the Audubon Society, River Keepers, and others. You will meet awesome people, learn lots and it is rewarding.
Citizen Scientist
You and your family can become citizen scientists. For instance, you can get involved with organizations and researchers doing experiments in nature. This is fun, and you will learn so much.
Your nest
Get creative and have fun on your property. You can call or go to a county extension office and get information on native plants and how to care for them. Or, you can also go online and learn how to plant plants that attract butterflies, bees, birds, and other insects. You can create your life-giving nature compound.
