Nature has a profound impact on our physical and emotional well-being. Different studies have shown that being surrounded by natural environments reduces stress, improves mood and promotes mental health.

And you don’t have to be surrounded by trees or in a stream anywhere in Cerdanya (I’m referring to taking a forest bath or taking a cold bath, which are different things).

Now let’s talk about the landscape.

Of being on a balcony contemplating the Cadí mountain range, for example. When you give yourself time like this, your soul thanks you and the feeling of something beautiful inside you surfaces to make you feel good.

Health benefits

Calmly looking at landscapes has many benefits for your health. Our environment directly influences how we feel. Open landscapes, the presence of green and blue (forests and rivers), as well as natural light, have positive effects on our physiology:

  • Stress reduction : Contemplating natural landscapes decreases levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. Reduces heart rate.
  • Improved sleep quality : Fresh air and the slow rhythm of nature help regulate the circadian cycle.
  • Stimulation of creativity : Natural environments encourage mental clarity and inspiration.
