We may have failed to notice that art is everywhere. Take your time in the morning and breathe in and breathe out. Open your eyes to the beauty of nature’s art. It is, after all, what inspired human-made art. It can also play a significant role in promoting better overall health, and it is the reason why being close to nature gives us a sense of tranquillity and wellness.

If we take our time to appreciate the art of nature, we’ll be able to harness its incredible power of healing and promoting a well-balanced life. It will encourage positivity and happiness which should be the natural state of our being.

“People don’t have to head for the woods to enjoy nature’s restorative effects,” Rachel Kaplan, Ph.D., and Stephen Kaplan, Ph.D., emphasize. They said, “Even a glimpse of nature from a window helps.”

Arts Of Nature That We Didn’t Realize We’re Missing:

Sunrise

Sunrise usually happens between the hour of 5:00 am and 6:00 am. When was the last time you laid eyes on it? Seeing the sun peek in the morning just before everyone is fully awake can give a sense of hope. It is the mark of a new day, and it’s a perfect time to jog or do some exercise to condition the body for the tasks ahead.

Michael Terman, Ph.D., says, “Getting enough light, and at the right time, offers a way of dealing with the problems created by light deprivation. Best of all, the intervention is environmental, not pharmaceutical.”

Sunset

Sunset marks the end of the day. For some, it means resting time after a long day at work. It is the sun saying goodbye for a while and saying, “until tomorrow.” Try going to a place where you’ll be able to view the sun setting. Appreciate the color of the sun fading to darkness. Feel the wind turning cold, and you’ll know it’s a day well spent.

Jia Wei Zhang, Ph.D., found out that,“the positive emotions aroused by natural beauty led to increased prosociality feelings and behaviors characterized by concern for others.”

Rainbow

The rainbow is a magical phenomenon which is caused by the reflection and refraction of light from the sun to the droplets of water from the clouds down to the earth. It creates a magnificent art consisting of different colors painting the sky. Nowadays, we often ignore the rainbow because science has already explained what it is, but show the rainbow to a child and see how his eyes glow with amazement.

Ocean Or Sea

Have you ever been to the beach? Try sitting by the shore and just look at how the water meets the mountains and the sky. It is just like in most paintings. The only difference is that you see a moving masterpiece.

Sky

If you look at the sky, especially around 4:00 pm onwards before sunset, you will notice how blue it is, starting from the darkest shade of blue to the lightest. The color blue gives a sense of calmness and relaxation to the person looking that’s why it is an excellent view to diffuse stress.

Stars

Stargazing is also suitable for our mental health as it provides a peaceful time for our mind to ponder. It improves our comprehension and perspective in life. A person fond of stargazing has a certain depth in his way of thinking.

Moon

The moon has been around for quite some time. Some of the people in our history even treated it as their god. Nowadays, only a few people take notice of it. Looking at the moon provides a sense of security. It somehow makes someone feel that they are not alone.

Flowers

Flowers have a variety of colors, and if you look at them in the distance, they sure look like a painting. Holland is famous for having such beautiful flowers that look like a masterpiece when you see them from afar.

In their study, “indoor plants can provide psychological benefits such as stress-reduction and increased pain tolerance.”
