There's no one way to enjoy nature. How to find what works for you and get outside : Life Kit
Enjoying the outdoors can look like anything from walking the dog to celebrating Indigenous culture — you don't have to hike the tallest mountain peaks or go camping to love nature. Learn how to find your footing in nature in a way that works best for yo

Being "outdoorsy" can stir up images of big beautiful national parks, snowy slopes or lush, green forests. But smaller moments in nature, like walking my dog around the neighborhood or even listening to a rain sounds playlist as I fall asleep, have been just as valuable — and don't require the time, money or physical mobility of a big trip.
No matter how you access it, a growing body of research shows that nature has enormous emotional and cognitive benefits on people "including improved attention, lower stress, better mood, reduced risk of psychiatric disorders and even upticks in empathy and cooperation," according to the American Psychological Association.
1. Think of time in nature as a "multivitamin" — it's best to take it every day
Getting your daily dose of nature is vital to your well-being, says Ming Kuo, who runs the Landscape and Human Health Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. "Nature helps our mental muscles relax and recover," she explains.
For example, if you're spending hours staring at a computer screen or reading something difficult, you might feel pretty exhausted afterward. "If we get our breaks or even our micro restorative moments" by getting outside, Kuo says, "we recover some capacity to use that mental muscle so we can do things that are hard to do."
And it's not just our brains that benefit from nature. Kuo says our immune systems need it, too. "Our research suggests that it's not a luxury," says Kuo. "It's actually what you need to function well. ... It's kind of like a multivitamin."
If you can't physically get outside, you can still access nature and reap the benefits: Take a break to watch the birds from your window or tend to your houseplants.
"Nature includes everything from 'capital N' beautiful, spectacular, untouched wilderness all the way to a window box," says Kuo.
