Walking, as an accessible and convenient form of physical activity, has a proven, positive impact on our cognitive functions and mood.

Furthermore, compared to walking in urban areas (such as along busy streets), spending time in green spaces is significantly more effective at reducing stress, anxiety, negative emotions, and rumination.

How about getting off the bus one stop earlier next time and walking the rest of the way? 🌳🚶‍♂️

Park Maksimir is a perfect place for a little break from the city life in Zagreb!

It’s good to get out into green spaces from time to time. Does your city also have places where you can escape the hustle and bustle? 🌳

A bittersweet life – is it possible to feel joyful and sad at the same time? 💭

You’ve almost certainly found yourself in situations or relationships that sparked mixed emotions 🔄. When we share our everyday lives or live under the same roof with family, a close friend, or a partner, over time we experience the full spectrum of feelings – from the uplifting to the challenging.

Although we intuitively view joy and sadness as polar opposites on our emotional scale ⚖️, that’s by no means the only way to look at it.

Scientific research actually supports the idea that we can experience joy and sadness simultaneously 🔬🧠

It’s a fascinating reflection of how life is rarely black and white, and feeling "bittersweet" in certain moments is entirely natural 🌿

Next time someone asks, "How are you feeling?" – you might want to think twice 😉👇

Is the traditional classroom becoming outdated? Is outdoor learning just a nice break from routine, or does it genuinely transform how students learn? 📚✨

🌿 Upravo smo se vratili s LTTA treninga "Nature Lab: Experiential learning for mental well-being" u Novom Bečeju!

Proveli smo 6 predivnih (i ispunjenih) dana u Srbiji gdje smo kroz praktičan rad i Kolbov ciklus učenja testirali nove aktivnosti za rad na mentalnom zdravlju u prirodi.

Bilo je i učenja, i smijeha, i rada na sebi – a evo i kratke retrospektive kako nam je bilo! 👇

🌿 Just got back from an amazing 6 days at the "Nature Lab: Experiential learning for mental well-being" LTTA in Novi Bečej, Serbia!

We spent the week testing out new experiential learning activities through Kolb’s cycle, exploring how nature can support mental well-being.

It was full of learning, growth, and great connections and here’s a quick recap of how it went! 👇

🌿 Where we live matters!

Research shows that living near green spaces has a direct, calming effect on our wellbeing. Simply looking at natural environments can promote physiological relaxation and improve mood (Elsadek et al., 2019). 🌳

Living close to green spaces also offers an important indirect benefit. Studies suggest that easy access to nature encourages people to be more physically active, which in turn helps reduce stress levels (Pun et al., 2018)🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🌱

💬 Nature doesn't just make our surroundings more beautiful - it can support both our body and mind.

Opis do posta:

Ever heard that mindfulness is all about "not thinking" and forcing your mind into silence? 🧠❌

Trying to stop your thoughts is a losing battle.

Mindfulness is NOT:
🚫 An escape from reality
🚫 Indifference to everything
🚫 A substitute for psychotherapy

So let’s find out:
✅ What mindfulness actually is
✅ Why we practise it in the first place
✅ The key difference between mindfulness and the therapeutic process
