Ecopsychology - nature has positive effects to people

I read one book about ecopsychology (couldn't remember the name), and there was many interesting facts about how nature effects to people. I thought that nature relaxes only certain type of people, but in fact it relaxes and improves concentration. What's amazing, it concerns every person, regardless is she or he "nature-person"!

So, now I have spent hour or two in a forest daily, and it's quite surprising that many negative feelings are gone, mind is more positive and I feel better. I must admit that I have feared dark forests so much before, but now they feel quite... natural. Based on my own experiences, I strongly recommend to visit forests or in nature in a couple of days, and let yourself to see if it feels any different. I'm sure this is good to my physical health, and what's even more important, it does so much good to mental health as well.
