Nature Therapy, anyone?

[Naiwen]

So, just going to take a walk and bask myself into the sunlight on my balcony today. Actually, I share a house (triplex) with my caretaker, and I pay her a monthly rent on the 1st of every month, she takes this money to pay my bills and etc, so yeah, pretty nice living arrangement. I have my bedroom, AC and heating and she has hers right next to me, in case of emergency from me anytime. So what is nature therapy? Just go outside, take a walk, sit in a long chair, walk on the beach, go visit the nearby park or riverside, and just enjoying the natural view. It's to bask yourself into what nature has to offer, and sense and feel the beauty of nature, smelling the fresh flowers and grass, take a natural sunlight bath, dipping your feet into a lake or a river or into the ocean and etc, natural water pool, not private/public swimming pools. Personally, I love just sitting on my balcony or patio just enjoying the view there from the 2nd or 3rd floor of my house, feeding the animals and listening to natural sounds on Sounclound Go, a music/podcast app. You can find many music, podcast and nature sounds videos on there. I think I'm paying about 11 or 12,99USD a month, not sure about the pricing. But it's quite worth it and it's not glitchy with iOS like all the other music apps I've used before so yeah. Currently listening on SoundCloud Go a hot tub like water noise, very relaxing. I highly recommend it to you people dealing with everyday stress and anxiety issues.

I go outside a lot but I never thought of it as therapy. I really enjoy sitting in my backyard. It's pretty good sized and I keep the landscaping nice, I put string lights around the entire perimeter of the backyard so it looks really cool at night. I have 2 fire pits and a TV out there too.

I love being in nature, walking in nature. I live near the hills so there's lots of walking tracks. Also just across the road from me is a "river" which runs all the way from the hills through into the city and down to the beach. There's a nice trail you can use which runs the whole way next to the river. I sometimes ride my bike or go for runs. It's beautiful

Sounds nice. Where I am its just houses and traffic.

I don't think therapy works. I had therapy during a dying marriage. I talked to councilors. The medications the doctor prescribed didn't cure my depression and anger issues. A divorce did and the rest has been "a want" to improve myself. People think therapy is this magical help that's going to fix their problems. No, all they do is try to convince you that these are your problems, you made them, and YOU can fix it yourself and learn some self control.

I've never gone to a therapist but I believe it does work for some people. You just have to find the right one!
