As we observe Mental Health Awareness Week, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the simple, powerful things that can boost our wellbeing. One clue is right there in the word Naturism itself: nature.
We’ve long known that spending time in nature improves our mental health. The sights, sounds, and rhythms of the natural world help ground us, calm our nervous systems, and lift our spirits. But Naturists have discovered that being in nature without clothes can deepen that connection even further.
There’s something truly freeing and healing about feeling the sun, breeze, or water directly on your skin. It’s not just symbolic; it’s a return to a more natural state, where we can feel at one with the planet and, often, with ourselves.
If you’re feeling low, consider stepping outside, and if you can, find a safe place to leave your clothes behind and really connect. It might feel unusual at first, but for many, it’s a powerful and transformative way to relieve stress, quiet the mind, and rediscover joy.
Believe me, it helps.
