People everywhere seem to be busy all the time.<\/strong> Whether they are a student reviewing for upcoming exams, an employee doing an honest job for the day, a mother taking care of her child, or a father who is a CEO of a company, everybody needs some time to relax. Unwinding is inevitable<\/strong>, and a well-known university in the UK revealed through studies an activity that can help busy individuals ease their minds from a stressful day.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s College London<\/strong><\/em> revealed that \u201cbird-watching<\/strong>\u201d<\/em> can help improve mental health. Through studies led by the university, people who watch birds as a hobby are more relaxed and stress-free.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The university worked together with landscape architect J&L Gibbons<\/strong><\/em> and art foundation Nomad Projects<\/strong><\/em>. They developed an app called \u201cUrban Mind<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>, collected opinions from 1,292 participants, and completed a total of 26,856 evaluations. During the assessments, each participant would receive questions from the app 3x a day. One of the questions was whether they see or hear birds chirping every day, and will be provided a mental health questionnaire for them to answer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The results revealed that listening to a bird song or seeing birds fly does improve a person\u2019s mental health. Individuals with depression have improved when they see birds outside the window, on the treetops, or the wires. Such a relief and a feeling of contentment and pleasure have lasted for 8 hours!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 3 parties published their reports on the benefits of birdwatching and listening to their song in the journal Scientific Reports<\/strong>, October 2022 issue<\/em>. If you are in dire need of a stress reliever, you may stop what you are doing tentatively and observe the birds outside your window. Listen to their relaxing song. It is guaranteed that your mood will improve!<\/strong><\/p>\n
