SERVING ALL OF EAST CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS
Stress is an everyday part of life, we all get that, but if left unchecked, it can cause some severe health issues. You might feel the effects of stress and think about ways in which you can deal with it. However, the things you do to relieve stress might not be the correct answer. You might think that scrolling Facebook is an excellent way to relax, but it’s not; if anything, your electronic devices are probably part of the cause of your stress. It’s time to ditch the smartphone, close the laptop and step out into your patio for some natural stress relief.
There are plenty of studies that show a link between exposure to the outdoors and stress reduction. In short, relief from stress occurs within minutes of exposure to the outdoors. Step into your backyard, and your blood pressure drops, muscle tension subsides, and cortisol, which is a stress hormone, levels are reduced. Being outdoors also boosts dopamine production and increases levels of endorphins, the hormones that promote happiness.
In addition to relieving stress and keeping you healthy, being outdoors provides a myriad of other benefits as well. Breathing in that fresh air has therapeutic properties, which increases your energy levels and improves positive feelings. Being outdoors also enhances creativity; sitting on your patio is a great way to restore your capacity for attention and concentration.
Let’s talk for a moment about the real reasons why you don’t spend as much time in your backyard as you should. One apparent reason is you lack free time. If this is the case, it’s on you to create time to spend outdoors and improve your health. Another reason might be that you aren’t happy with your outdoor space; many homeowners don’t feel they have an ideal setup in their backyard. A concrete patio can give your backyard a look and feel that it deserves, and it creates a space in which your can watch your children play, a space you can enjoy eating meals in the summer, and a space where you can relax and unwind.
When shopping for a house, you probably didn’t give the fact there wasn’t a patio or a functional patio a second thought. Not all homes have a backyard with an excellent patio for the family to enjoy. Think of your backyard as an extension of your indoor space. You wouldn’t want to live in a house with a kitchen that doesn’t function well; you have something done to make it functional and pleasant. That very same attitude should apply to your backyard.
