In this video, we’re going to talk about the world’s cheapest mental health booster: bird watching.

Bird watching is a great natural mental health booster for…
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Depression

There are three studies done in the UK that showed significant changes in stress, anxiety, and depression after doing several hours of bird watching. Along with lowering stress, they also noticed a huge boost in happiness among the participants.

Bird watching shifts your attention from your stressors and onto something peaceful and beautiful.

Other activities that may have a similar effect include listing to nature sounds outdoors, nature walks, and identifying trees and other plants.

If you’re interested in identifying plants, try the app “Picture This.” The app allows you to take a picture of a plant, and it will tell you all about it. It’s quite fascinating.

Give it a try, and let me know how bird watching affects your mental health.
