Definitely agree, when I lived near to beaches it was much easier for me to stay active and I felt so calm and relaxed just watching the water which tis the favorite pastime of my wife. She absolutely loves just sitting and looking at the water and says it is the most enjoyable thing for her soul.
Absolutely my GO TO! I grew up with a pool in the backyard. I told my husband it was a non-negotiable when looking for a house. Now I'm considering a move to Florida, or south Georgia (USA), to get the sunshine, palm trees, and nearer to the ocean! My exercise during the summer is a swim (and float) around 8 or 9am -- so tranquil, especially with beautiful blue skies overhead.
I like to often look up at blue skies and the expanse of the heavens, also at night looking at the stars. I find that calming too. I wonder if this could qualify as blue space?
Love living near the sea ~ just looking out the window always calms me down, let alone going to walk by/in it, swim etc. I've found that for me there's a zone of most peace ~ living right next to the sea can be disturbing when it's stormy, so we're set a way back and up ~ feels great.... full of appreciation!
I feel more happiness and excitement from life in general after visiting the beach of Pacific Ocean rather than Red Trees forest with a running creek of a spring water, so definitely sea or ocean are more powerful for me.
@@BrainAcademy1 thank you! I love going out in my yard among the trees to hangout & listen to the birds...I’ve been so grateful this past year to have this outlet! I absolutely feel better after time outside...maybe time to add a pond for blue space too💙
Forests and mountains work for me as well. I'm totally fascinated by mountains. No, it's just nature, in general, which has a soothing impact on us. But of course, we all have our sweet spots... :)

I love it. That sounds like my kinda thing too :)

I felt like I conquered the day when going to the beach before work. Nothing got me down that day.

I live in a city. So I keep a small bowl of water with a few floating flowers . It helps:)
That's a nice idea, I like that :)
So True
Would it work to be by a lake or river too or does it need to be the sea?
Yes, definitely. Blue space is everything water related. Lakes and rivers are perfect. Even canals and waterways inside a city do the trick

I have the same effect from forests and mountains. Possibly the environment we grow up in has the calming effect on us Gregory?
