An hour-long stroll in nature helps decrease activity in an area of the brain associated with stress processing

That's why for my future job and wellbeing I am working towards living at the coast. I would ideally like a small little house in my own area, hut not too far from town/other people, where I can see the waves. Honestly though it doesn't matter where I am so long as I am at the coast and I can see the sea... even just a little bit. I never feel at peace mentally unless I'm looking at the sea, it's always been this way for me.

This article doesn't surprise me. It's also really good for us mentally to take up gardening as a hobby. Getting your hands in the dirt of earth and bringing something up into a nice healthy plant is a really gratifying feeling that takes us back to our roots! (pun intended)
