You understand that going out and spending time by your self in nature walking around the paths of a park, lake, mountains is more about your mental health than your physical health right? You can do pushups, lift weights to jogging on a treadmill to get exorcise. Your mind need the balance of nature to handle the everyday not natural events of life, sometimes we get so consumed with everything around us that we would be lucky to see any nature at all other then the TV you might be watching....yeah...that's not nature. 

All you really have to do is go sit in a park for an hour looking at anything but your cell and while reading a book is awesome to do on a perfect day it's not the same thing as walking around looking at the natural surroundings letting your mind expand out to decompress from the boxed in office life you live.  You need balance and that has to come with your purposeful intent of trying to get that balance over wise you will make up excuses not to spend a little time alone just letting your mind sink into nature.  I know it's not easy, I think we all struggle getting away from that work rather your from a high rise office build to fast food restaurant its still just as important to allow your self to decompress. I 'm not talking about vacation or a day off of work, I'm talking about getting to a place like a big park, lake, ocean, mountain and just walk around aimlessly getting a little lost and trying to find your way back....don't worry you still have your cell phone just in case you can't find your way back...

I've done this a few times...well more often but yes I do this just to get my mind set back and some days it helps more than others i guess it's really up to the person and the stress levels they are under. The more you do it the more it helps from what I'm learning but perhaps it wont be the same for you? Either way it does have a big effect on everyone and I say is a very important part of your mental health.  Just my perspective though. Anyways enjoy my BW photo!
