The ebb and flow of life isn't always calm, is it? Walking, wandering and losing yourself in a view is part of the essential wellness we encourage at The Outdoor Guide on a Wednesday or any day for that matter.
Woods or water? We all have our favourite, and although we know that H2O is an element that we can't do without (hydrate people!), it has a significant impact on your body's physiology. Even a single glass of water can have a calming effect on your nerves. This is because the water activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response. As a result, your heart rate and blood pressure decrease, your digestion is stimulated, and your body can relax.
Add the vastness of an expanse of water, the sound of lapping waves and the smell of the sea, and you've got one massive positive for going coastal for a calming reset.
