The joy of nature
Today’s Prompt
Spend at least 5–10 minutes outside today. Notice light, air, or movement.
Why Are We Doing This?
Time in nature lowers stress hormones, supports blood pressure regulation, and improves mood—all protective for heart health.
Research shows that nature exposure can:
- Lower cortisol
- Improve heart rate variability
- Reduce anxiety and mental fatigue
How to Practice Nature Joy
- Walk, sit, or stand outside.
- Look at the sky or trees.
- Open a window if needed.
Navigating Potential Challenges
What if I live in a city?
Even small exposures count.
