Changes your perspective on the future
If you are going through a difficult period or you are probably stressed, anxious and depressed, then your vision of the future is also damaged. Hence, medical experts recommend that you focus more on things that can keep you engaged, calm and relaxed. If you don’t have other hobbies, you can make one, such as gardening. In fact, it has been shown that any type of physical activity is essential for your overall health, making you happier at the same time.
According to Gwenn Fried, manager of horticultural therapy at NYU Langone Medical Center’s Rusk Rehabilitation in New York City, “when you garden, you expect growth and change. When someone plants a seed and waters it, they have faith that the seed will send roots into the soil to support stems and leaves above. When people see that faith come to fruition, it helps carry the same kind of faith and hope into everyday life.”
