ResponderEliminarNature is a very quiet place.
ResponderEliminarActually, nature helps you a lot since when you are stressed, sad, angry, happy or have any other negative feeling, anyone goes and takes it out on nature.
When you go for a walk in a forest it reassures you and you feel very safe with yourself since you hear the sound of the birds, the leaves, the wind, the river, the harmony that is there is wonderful.
Also, when someone is very angry with oneself, they usually go to the beach since they take out their fury by throwing stones into the water, and they sit for a long time watching the horizon, watching and listening to the waves, the wind and think about all the things that are happening and you can calm down .
Nature really helps us a lot without us realizing it and we must respect and take care of it.
Nadal is the best tennis player in Spain, he has many roland garros, his biggest rival on the slopes is djokovic. Both Spanish and Serbian are two greats of this sport along with many unbeatable legends.

ResponderEliminarNature can be the solution of some illness because when you are with nature you can feel very relaxed, you can forget all the everyday problems, problems about work, about your studies... And for these reasons being surruonded by the nature can be the solution to some mental problems.
ResponderEliminarWhen you are stressed, for example you can go for a walk in a forest, have a look at all the trees, or you can go to the beach to swim or to see the sea waves of the sea, and these actions can help you with the stress and for a moment you can feel free and very well, and these actions are also called ecotherapy.
Ecotherapy is the different activities that you can do related with the nature, from climbing, hiking until activities that you can do in your house as gardening, and as I have just said, these activities can help you with some mental problems.
In my opinion ecotherapy is a good therapy to these problems and it makes people appreciate more the nature and to take more care of the nature. And sometimes I go to the beach to see the waves and to throw some stones into the water because it calms me down and I forget all my problems.

ResponderEliminarNature is one of the most prestigious things we have. Recently it has been discovered that nature could be the solution to some mental illnesses.
ResponderEliminarEcotherapy is what they call it. Contact with nature can provide physical and mental well-being. Nowadays there are many outdoor activities that can make you feel better with yourself, such as walking through the countryside, camping, hiking or just exercising. There are many studies that show that time spent outdoors can improve stress levels, reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and also improve creativity and memory.
In fact, the concept of "nature healing" is a term that comes from our past and in other countries the materials that nature provides have been used to get remedies to treat diseases.
In my family we like to walk through the nature and when we have time we also ride a bicycle. Is a way to desconnect for a moment from the Internet and our stressful lives.
To sum up, ecotherapy is a good solution to improve both our physical and mental well-being. In my opininion nature is very important for ourselves and for that reason we should take care of it.

Nowadays, we can see many stressed people, because of work, studies… But, this is not good for us, because it can produce some illness, and, is there any solution?
ResponderEliminarEco-therapy is a possibility to solve these problems, some of these related to the mind, like a depression. This method has lots of different variants. From a long period in a wild area and gardening up to individual therapy. Group activities like a camp, is a clear example. It is usually done for troubled teenagers.
When people feel alone in nature, they need to help each other. In addition, there is not any modern stimulations like internet. If there is a self-centered person, when he is surrounded from large mountains or plains, it makes him look smaller and this helps too. So this therapy can be used by many different persons who have different problems.
I think that it is a healthy and effective way to solve illnesses and problems caused by stress or depression
Nature normaly means relax and peaceful when we talk about it relating to our stress, sometimes.
ResponderEliminarWhen I'm angry, sad or stressful I like to go for walk near or in the nature, sometimes with friends or with my family in my cottage. In my cottage, for example, I like to stay in a armchair outside and see my dogs playing, the vegetation, the birds, the clear sky... It's very relaxing.
I think that this Ecotherapy can be useful, at least to me it works.
I remember when I was I child and I played with my cousin in the countryside. We did't get bored ever, and actually it's still like this.

ResponderEliminarNowadays there are many people who have problems such as stress and anxiety caused in many cases by our busy lives. There are many different methods that try to solve these problems and one of them is ecotherapy. Ecotherapy encompasses a wide variety of interventions, whether they be prolonged periods in wilderness, gardening or individual therapy. They are all united by the concept that exposure to nature will improve wellbeing and healthy living.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, ecotherapy is a method that replaces traditional medicine and can be very good for us. Besides, being in contact with nature is always healthy. You can breathe clean air, listen to the birds sing and feel very well with yourself. In addition, ecotherapy sometimes includes activities such as survival in the forest, and these types of activities can be really interesting because they help you to connect with nature. You will also feel better if you do ecotherapy because you will learn to use everything that the nature gives you.
On the other hand, ecotherapy doesn’t always work, many times it is necessary to take medicines to solve your problem. What’s more, if the person doesn't take it seriously, ecotherapy won't work at all. Sometimes some people, especially teenagers, think that ecotherapy doesn't work and they don't take it seriously. Moreover, it is very important to be focused on your goal when you do ecotherapy because if you don’t work hard to get your goals, you will not be able to learn anything from what nature teaches.
To put it in a nutshell, ecotherapy is a good way to disconnect from our busy world and take some time to rest and connect with nature. From my point of view, everyone who has problems like anxiety among other things, should try this technique before taking medication because they can sometimes be bad for our health.
Nowadays, a lot of people live with a lot of stress because they have or want to do too much during the day. Both working adults and teenagers studying especially during exam times, stress can cause many health problems. In addition, most people not only work or study or both, they also have to clean their homes, take care of their relatives or other personal problems. What can we do to reduce stress?
ResponderEliminarAccording to many experts surrounding yourself with nature it is good to reduce stress, forget about problems and relax.
If you are angry, sad, stressed or just need a break, you must go to a quiet park, to the beach, to the river, to the mountain, summarizing any place where you can relax. There, take a deep breath and walk while listening to the sounds of nature such as the sound of water, the sound of animals or any other relaxing sound you like. In addition, there you can let off steam by crying, screaming or talking alone without anyone listening to you.
The set of activities related to nature are called ecotherapy. To sum up, ecotherapy can help many people's lives better without spending any money. In addition, if you take a walk surrounded by nature, you will relax at the same time that you breathe clean air, do exercise, sunbathe giving you vitamins, see animals and landscapes… Besides, when you return home you will have more strength to do your homework, go to work or school…
To sum up, nature brings many good things to health and I think that we should take better care of it because we are destroying it and every time there are fewer places where we can relax. Before when I was very stressed with the exams I continued studying but over time I have realized that doing that is not a good idea and I will not get better results in the exams, so lately when I get stressed I go out for a walk alone or with my friends or family to disconnect.
Nature plays an important role in our lives. Connecting with nature can have lots of positive health benefits. For example, ecotherapy could be the solution to some mental illnesses.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, exposure to nature contributes to our physical and emotional wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety. Nowadays, more and more people use ecotherapy in order to treat a mental health problem, such as depression.
On the other hand, ecotherapy can take place in both rural and urban places, such as parks, gardens or farms. Moreover, it can include activities that focus on working in nature, such as gardening, or experiencing nature, such as a walking, running or cycling.
In my opinion, ecotherapy can be very useful for us, as it improves self-esteem, depression, stress levels and emotional intelligence.
Probably you are tired of your routine, being all the day working or studying can be very stressful and exhausting. Why don´t you try going for a walk? Go to a park near your house, go to a beach, go to a mountain, etc.
ResponderEliminarWhen you come back to your routine, you´ll feel better. The environment has made you feel better, this is called ecotherapy, a way to avoid the daily problems and find an escape from the routine.
Ecotheraphy can be a good way to heal mental problems, and even if you don´t like going for a walk, when you have a bad day, you should try it. Talking about harder problems, this can help fighting diseases like depression, making the patient feel better.
But nowadays, we have a problem, maybe in a few years, the landscape you see everyday won´t be there. Pollution is destroying all kinds of environment, like in Australia, burning it, or in the beaches, polluting the water. If we don´t stop this now, we won´t be able to do it in a future, and finally, we won´t have any tree or any clean beach to show to our children.

ResponderEliminarThe nature plays one important paper in the world, since in the nature, you can get out of the problems and routine of the day to day, of the cities and of the bustle of the society, and you'll feel better.
ResponderEliminarYou can escape to the mountains or to the beach... I prefer to escape to the mountains, for two reasons, the first reason is that in the mountains you can breathe clean air, that is so good for the lungs, and the other reason is that in the mountains you can disconnect better, because here there aren't a lot of people as to the beach, and you can stay more in calm.

When I can't study well and I get stressed, I stop studying and go for a walk along a path on the outskirts of my town that is surrounded by nature and when I return home I have more strength to continue studying and doing the homework and I feel better.
