Have you ever been surprised at how a walk in the park, digging in your garden or a hike along the lakefront has lifted your mood?

It’s simple: nature heals, soothes and restores us. Nature can lessen our anxiety and improve our well-being. If you don’t have time or can’t get outside, even seeing pictures of nature can have a similar effect.

So, the next time that frustrating situation hits you and you feel the anxiety creeping in, lace up your walking shoes and head outside.

This is where can you go in the Chicago/Evanston area to boost your mood and reduce your anxiety!
