Hello Followers,

Welcome to Monday!
Today if you are facing some stress, go out and hug a tree.
I guarantee you will feel better!
It will reduce your stress hormones.
So, besides giving your immune system a big old’ boost, hugging trees has this amazing effect on reducing stress hormones.
You know what that means, right?
Your immune system gets even stronger.
It is like, when you hug a tree, you are not just getting cozy with nature.
You are dialing down your cortisol levels.
And this drop in stress hormones does not just chill you out; it seriously amps up your immune defenses.
There is actual research out there showing that just wrapping your arms around a tree can seriously cut down on stress, make you feel better, and get those happy hormones like oxytocin flowing.
These changes in what is going on inside your body do not just help you fight off germs better; they also help you feel more connected to the great outdoors.
So, tree hugging?
It is not just nice; it is a great way to keep healthy and feel more in tune with the world around you.
If you are going to hug a tree, make sure you do it with some style.
