Essay, 2017

9 Pages


Abstract or Introduction

An active lifestyle and oases of recreation in everyday life can contribute to wellbeing and quality of life. Nature and natural surroundings facilitate a balanced lifestyle by offering opportunities for physical activity and relaxation. There is empirical evidence about the stress reducing effects of moderate physical activity and meditation in natural surroundings. Resilience promotion (e.g. acceptance, self-efficacy, optimism etc.) also contributes to increased equanimity regarding exceeding demands and feelings of overload in general.

The topics mentioned are briefly summarised in this essay based on current literature about findings from literature and self-help books. The essay also contains useful examples for redesigning everyday routines.
