A study has shown that birdsong can help us de-stress quicker. That’s why so many relaxation CDs include birdsong and sounds of nature – running water, wind in the trees, the sound of waves.
You can’t beat the sound of a nightingale in full song or a song thrush or blackbird singing from the top of a tree.
Getting out into nature can help us to re-energise and get us back into being productive. It’s also a good way to improve your mental health and helps to get things back in perspective, especially after a busy day or when trying to solve a tricky problem.
Taking a break in nature is not only good for stress but fresh air and a brisk walk is good for your brain and your body. Get out into the daylight, top up your Vitamin D, breathe in … and relax.
So open the windows and let in the sounds of Spring.
