To “flourish” as an individual is to grow, to thrive to prosper and to be healthy. Many things like a loving family, food, a sense of purpose and faith contribute to our ability to flourish.

Research findings suggest that natural settings such as parks, wilderness areas, urban green spaces and gardens may be beneficial to improve both physical and mental health.   

Not only does green space provide an opportunity for physical activity, but there is growing evidence suggesting that exposure to natural setting has a direct positive effect on reducing stress levels and enhancing mental well-being.

So remember get outdoors and get a “dose” of nature to help you flourish.
