Why should we choose the countryside?

/ the pluses of living in the rural area/

Living in this fast world of ever changing and ever growing dynamics, most of us are submerged meters below in the never sleeping, crazy big-city life. Here are the endless possibilities, opportunities, colors, social and career life, but also the indifference, impersonality, aggression, avarice, heavy concrete, traffic fumes, tension..

Ofcourse, it's entirely our choice where to live and what to do, but with the society following the pop-fashion, we wanted to bring a kind reminder of the “other” alternative.

Why to choose the COUNTRYSIDE?

Life in the rural area offers many, maybe forgotten, but quite powerful upsides. In the lines below we have listed some of the most irresistible charms of what these places will share with us:

🌳 Fresh air:

Do you know the level of air pollution in your city? Especially in the capitals it is usually many levels above the maximum (you can download some thematic phone apps to keep yourself update about your city). And the maximum is named so, because even below this limit, being in such an environment is not healthy.

Oxygen is the main element, responsible for the youth and freshness of our physical bodies. When the air is polluted and full of toxic gases, our organisms suffer, get old and sick easily.

On the other hand, fresh and clean air is better than a cup of coffee in the morning - keeps us energized and healthy!

🌳Less stress; peace and quiet:

Stress is one of the main reasons for all mental and physical diseases. Having it on a chronic basis, leads to very poor self esteem, depression, burn out and even severe physical traumas.

The solitude and quiet that nature offers in the countryside is like medicine in this case. We came from and are still deeply connected with it, though in contemporary life mankind is drifting more and more apart, which inevitably has its consequences.

The moment we stop with the never ending rush, take a deep breath and slow down, we will notice the beautiful colors of all small things, dear gifts life has for us. Only then come peace and deep gratitude.

🌳Community, real human connections:

One of the reasons people run away to the big cities is to find a community - an environment of close people and friends to share their joys and sadnesses with. We can’t not mention a fact that is often neglected: in the countryside everything becomes more real. As we’re not distracted by the countless factors of the busy city life, we have more time to observe and see things clearly. We start to deeply appreciate the other, their presence in our lives and our relationship. The human connections become deeper and stronger, we stop viewing each other as the next item we use and if it breaks - we throw away. We slowly become our authentic selves, get to know and accept those of the others, no matter the flaws, disagreements. And isn’t this the true meaning of life? ~
