Inspire "Outdoorphin" through bonsai and nature
The pace of life in Hong Kong is fast and modern life is full of stress. We often want to find different ways to relax. However, there is a simple and effective way, which is to get in touch with nature and feel the power brought by plants. Have you ever noticed that you feel a sense of relaxation and joy when you garden, take care of a potted plant, or simply take a walk in an environment filled with greenery? This feeling is exactly what is called "Outdoorphin".
What is "Outdoorphin"?
The concept of "Outdoorphin" is a word formed by combining "Outdoor" (outdoor) and "Endorphin" (endorphin), describing the physical and mental satisfaction obtained when contacting nature outdoors. Endorphin is a chemical substance produced by the brain, often called the "happy hormone", which can relieve stress, enhance mood, and even reduce pain. Contact with nature and bonsai, whether planted, touched, or simply viewed, can stimulate the release of endorphins in the brain. This positive emotion given by nature is what we call "Outdoorphin".
The connection between plants and endorphins
Research shows that contact with plants not only boosts your mood but also helps improve your mental health. When you care for a bonsai, your focus shifts to the growing process of the plant, which can help reduce anxiety. At the same time, this interaction with plants will also cause the body to release more endorphins, making you feel relaxed and calm.
This is why many people choose to place bonsai at home or in the office, because it not only beautifies the space, but also allows us to naturally come into contact with these "happy hormones" in our daily lives, thereby achieving physical and mental balance and satisfaction.
