What's your feeling when you see butterflies dancing slowly and lightly in the wind? Whether you love researching the outdoors or watching far away, getting close to nature can keep your mind away from your worries and make you feel relaxed. What is nature? Nature means the world around us that is not man-made, including birds, mountains, trees, the sea and the stars. It's a force and can control things like weather. We can find nature wherever we are and wherever we go — beaches, gardens, parks, rivers, and even unexpected places like cracks(裂缝) in the stones. Why does nature make us feel good? Spending time in nature makes our lives peaceful, joyful and wonderful. It takes us outdoors, gets us active and lets us care more about the environment. Even a little gift of nature can make us feel free and hopeful, such as breathing in fresh air, listening to the wind in the trees or standing at a mountain. Ralphie, who is 10, likes being close to nature on a bike with his family. He says, "It makes us feel happy and takes our mind off things because we have to pay attention. We are away from traffic and we hear more birdsong and see more wild animals. " How can we feel closer to nature? Feeling closer to nature is easy. We can build a connection with nature wherever we are using our senses. Try listening closely to birdsong, smelling flowers and feeling sand between our fingers. Paint a picture and take photos of the natural places that we like best. They may help us feel closer to the natural world. It's important to try and connect with nature, notice its beauty and how it makes us feel. Connecting with Nature Introduction ★Take your mind 46 _________ your worries. ★Make you feel relaxed.
