The tranquility that comes with a nature park and site is so
enormous. I love the quietness and the breeze, the movement of the leaves,
grasses and trees in honour of the gentle wind. The crispy Chirping of the
birds, the family life of animals within its own habitat, the gorgeous
architectural designs of the huts, freshness of the air all around and the dramatic blend of colours …………….. ohhhhhhh
my goodness
If there is one thing that every family should enjoy when next
there is a national public holiday, then it must be a visit to a nature park
around you. Sometimes I am, overcome with acute nostalgia of our family visit
to the beach as a child. The feeling of the nature park is always overwhelming.
Sad faces diffuse to a big grin on the sight of
Nature; sometimes you are left in awe of the creator, His might and thought
process. The natural force is so compelling you can’t resist.
Believe it or not, visit to these places is healing,
therapeutic, refreshing and reviving.
Not only that, it also help to reduce stress level,
anger, fear, thereby
increasing pleasant feelings.
If you need to connect to yourself (Do a little of
Introspection) or if you like call it soul searching, then you need to visit a
nature park ASAP!
Interestingly, Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better
emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood
pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It
may even reduce mortality, according to scientists
Research done in
hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room
can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety. How much more a visit to
the place so reallllllllllll
It is no gainsaying that Nigeria is a blessed nation because
we have several of them, like The Lekki Conservation Center, Old Oyo National Park, Yankari
Game Reserve Gombe, Gashaka Gumti
National Park Cross
River National Park, Kamuku National Park and the list goes on…
Now to the most interesting part of it all
You pay little or close to nothing for all of this …… wow!!!
For some of the parks I have visited all you have to pay is
the entry fee of N1, 000 for adult, N500 for children or even less... Isn’t
that Cheap?
So
hurry to the nearest park around you and experience the beauty of Mother Nature
FYI:
a visit to the village could do the magic too
