Forget yoga. Nature documentaries could be just as good in helping you reduce stress. A new study has found even watching small clips of shows such as Planet Earth II boosts people's emotions of awe, contentedness, joy and amusement. It also can instantly help reduce anxiety, fear and tiredness.

Actually, going out for a walk with the dogs in a beautiful countryside is a whole lot better than sitting like a log and watching TV.
To me,there’s nothing quite as nice as interacting with my horses after a long day.Very kind and placid creatures.
Just don’t watch the part where the cheetah kills and eats the antelope!
It's the "Circle of Life."
Cat videos definitely work. Plus, I set aside several hours a day to read my books. This really relaxes me.
The modern nature shows are scored with ominous sounding music so you have to mute the sound.
[[Want to be happier and more focused? Then watch nature documentaries]]
mmmhmmmm- watch nature shows that deride the Christian concept of creation, and which constantly hammer the evolution meme- No thanks
Ditto.
Walking with my dogs in the woods is the first thing I do each day, every day...no excuses.
To see my doggies, click on my name.

Until they weave the seemingly mandatory evolutionary theory “facts” in. That’s enough to cause any right thinking person to have a raise in their blood pressure. Grrr.
They traded God's truth for a lie, and they worshipped and served the creation instead of the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Does a movie starring teenaged Jenny Agutter count as a “nature documentary” ?
Speaking of wild life, Tuesday morning I dreamed there was a bear in Madison, Wisconsin. Last night I met my sister and her friend from there for pizza and told them my dream. My sister, amazed, told me that on Monday a lady where she works said that she was absolutely sure that she saw a black bear near the airport. My sister tried to convince her she was mistaken, but she was positive about clearly seeing the bear.
I really enjoy bald eagles.
Fortunate to live in Central Florida where we not only have many wonderful, paved bicycle trails, but great weather to enjoy them year round.
Our favorite is The General Van Fleet Trail that goes through the Green Swamp. Gopher tortoise, rabbits, birds, owls, eagles, hawks, alligators, armadillo, freaking suicidal squirrels, wild pigs, butterflies and also snakes are common to see on each ride. 60 miles round trip.
Just passed 4,000 miles yesterday on my bike I bought 3 and a half years ago.
Still get a chance to watch TV but have VERY limited number of shows to watch as any homo/lesbo crap gets the show permanently exiled.
When I get stressed out, I watch animal friends videos on YouTube for a few minutes and then I’m calm again.
Yep watching nature shows, nothing is more relaxing than watching a pride of Lions stalk and kill a Wildebeest. Or a crocodile make a light snack out of a zebra.
I love those Planet Earth shows. Visually appealing camera work and interesting subject matter.
