Mindful Hiking: ENJOY NATURE...

 

• Mindful HIking: ENJOY NATURE……
  1. Before Hiking:
     • What are your current thoughts and feelings?
     • Set intentions for the hike. 
  2. During Hike:
     • Focus on breathing.
     • Pause occasionally to reset. Take in the nature around you. 
     • Take in different sights, sounds and smells.  
  3. After Hike:
     • Process thoughts and feelings. 

Nature Improves Psychological Well-Being. Nature walks benefit people suffering from depression. Studies had shown that people suffering from mild to major disorders showed significant increases in mood when exposed to nature.
