Whether you’re going for a hike along the water or fishing in your favorite spot, there’s something restorative about spending time near water. It soothes the mind, body and spirit and can be a truly calming and peaceful experience.
While we may not be 100% sure why this is, we will look to explore this topic further and touch on several benefits that you will receive from spending time by water.
Your body has a strong connection to water
With 70 percent of our body being made up of water, there’s no surprise that our bodies have a special connection to it.
Our anatomy is very similar to the Earth’s, with about 70 percent of the planet being comprised of water.
We are also attracted to the color blue, so the more blue a scenery offers, the more we will want to go there to escape the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives.
Water provides an auditory break
That escape from the office that everyone is searching for is mainly due to the hum of modern-day society.
Many people find that their stress is mainly caused by one very basic source, loud noises. Whether it be music, television or even our coworkers and family, we are constantly bombarded by sounds that never seem to end.
The soothing noise of water will help you unwind from this constant noise and enjoy the calming sound of rushing water and waves.
It helps us de-stress
Similarly, spending time by water will help us unplug from the “rat race”. Whether you’re going for a hike, run, canoeing or fishing along the water, you can leave your phone in the car, de-stress and get away from all of life’s aggravation. Even if you don’t feel you need a break, your body and mind will thank you.
