Results suggest that spending time near water can have psychologically restorative effects and lead to improved mental health. If you are fortunate enough to be able to, try spending just 10 minutes by the Thames, the sea, a lake or even a pond in your local park. Notice the sounds you hear and the wildlife that inhabits the area. If this is not possible, try one of these videos: Surfing in the Maldives, Relaxing Music and Ocean Waves.
