Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected? Nature might be just what your nervous system needs. Research shows that spending time in natural environments can reduce stress, improve mood, and support long-term mental wellness.

Here are a few simple ways to bring nature into your healing process:

🌲 Forest Bathing – Slow, mindful walks through trees or green spaces help lower stress hormones and increase focus.

🚶‍♀️ Mindfulness Meditation Hikes – Tune into your breath and surroundings as you move slowly through nature.

🐦 Bird Watching – A calming practice that invites presence, curiosity, and joy.

🌱 Gardening – Connecting to the earth through your hands can reduce anxiety and improve your mood.

🐎 Equine Therapy – Horses reflect our emotional state and help us regulate and connect more deeply.

🧘‍♀️ Restorative Yoga in Nature – Gentle, supported movement outdoors can help your body and mind reset.

These aren’t about doing more—they’re about slowing down and coming back to yourself.

✨ Want extra support? Certified yoga therapist Susan Kjesbo offers restorative yoga sessions on Wednesdays at our Irvine office or via Zoom.

Remember, the food we eat doesn’t just fuel our bodies, it also affects our brain and mood. 🧠

Nutrition plays a key role in regulating energy, sleep, focus, and emotional balance. Start with small shifts. A colourful plate is a powerful step toward mental clarity. 🌱

For generations, men have been told to “suck it up,” to be strong, stoic, and silent.
But strength doesn’t mean suffering in silence. And toughness isn’t about pretending everything’s fine.

The truth?
Men struggle too—with stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, identity, relationships, and more.
And they deserve safe, non-judgmental spaces to talk about it.

At OC Health Psychologists, we support men in navigating life’s challenges with real tools, compassionate care, and a team that gets it.

Mental health isn’t weakness.
Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.

🧠 You’re not alone. Let’s talk.

June is Men’s Health Month 💙

Mental health is health and that includes the mental and emotional wellbeing of men. Too often, men are taught to “tough it out” or to stay silent when they’re struggling, but healing begins when we create space for honesty, support, and connection.

This month, let’s break the stigma, start real conversations, and encourage the men in our lives to care for their emotional health just as they would their physical health. 🌿

You’re allowed to talk about it. You’re allowed to ask for help. You’re not alone. 💛

Mindfulness isn’t about clearing your mind or meditating for hours in silence.
It’s about tuning into the present moment with curiosity not judgment.

And when it comes to managing stress, pain, or trauma, mindfulness can be a game changer.

Here’s what it can help with 👇

🌬️ Lower stress levels
Mindfulness activates the parasympathetic nervous system (aka your “rest and digest” mode), which helps calm the body and mind.

💭 Reduce anxiety + racing thoughts
By noticing your thoughts, instead of getting swept up in them, mindfulness can create space between you and your overwhelm.

🌀 Ease physical pain
Research shows mindfulness can help reduce the intensity of chronic pain by shifting how we experience it in the brain.

🤍 Build emotional resilience
It helps you respond—rather than react—to tough moments, creating more peace in your day-to-day life.

👣 Reconnect with your body
Mindfulness brings you back to your breath, your sensations, your inner wisdom. Especially important if you’ve felt disconnected due to trauma or pain.

Start small.
☕ Feel the warmth of your tea.
🚶‍♀️ Notice your footsteps.
🫁 Breathe in... and out.

You don’t need to master mindfulness. You just need to begin.
