☆꧁*Tree Hugging is One of my Hobbies* ☆ "When they called me a tree-hugger, I took it as a compliment. Now science agrees that I'm just ahead of my time!" 🌳😊
Tree-hugging might seem quirky, but it has some genuine benefits! Here are a few:
1. **Stress Reduction**: Being in nature, including hugging trees, can lower cortisol levels—your body's primary stress hormone.
2. **Improved Mood**: The act of connecting with nature can boost your mood and decrease feelings of anxiety and depression.
3. **Grounding**: Hugging a tree can help you feel more connected and grounded, bringing you into the present moment.
4. **Boosted Immune System**: Spending time in nature can increase your body's natural killer cell activity, which supports the immune system.
5. **Enhanced Focus and Creativity**: Nature exposure has been linked to improved concentration and can inspire creativity.
6. **Improved Emotional Health**: Physical touch, even something as simple as hugging a tree, can release oxytocin, sometimes known as the "love hormone," promoting feelings of happiness and emotional health.
7. **Connection to Nature**: Hugging trees can increase your connection to the earth and encourage more sustainable behaviors.
So, next time you feel a little down, consider finding a friendly tree for a hug—it might just lift your spirits! 🌳💕
Love 💕always, ~A~
What are your thoughts do you think is weird or do you do it? This is similar to “grounding” so you know what that’s ?
