In this Instagram account, I wanted to draw attention to the psychological effects of green spaces. I wanted to emphasize the importance of green space equality and access to urban
green areas, especially in this period when we started to spend most of our lives indoors. Our sense of beauty, self- confidence and personal love are decreasing, while our connection with green spaces is gradually decreasing with the changing life order. We forget that natural is the healthiest. We experience difficulties not only physically but also
psychologically as we move away from nature. The effects of green spaces on our psychology and self-confidence cannot be underestimated.

As an Erasmus student in Berlin for 1 semester, I discovered a harsh and variable weather here, and the dreariness gradually discouraged me from going out for fresh air regularly. That’s why I started to feel less energetic, less in a good mood. I understood that this state of health was linked to my less frequent outings. From this observation, I decided to learn more seriously about the real benefits of going outside regularly, and I also looked for different activities that would motivate me to go outside with more enthusiasm.

After discovering some surprising scientific facts, I wanted to share my research through an Instagram account containing 6 posts so far. Each post is designed in the same way: a photo illustrating my words and the description of the photo which contains in text format a scientific fact related to a benefit of going outside, as well as a tip, an idea to motivate yourself to go outside.

And I hope this content will resonate with you and help you just like it helped me reconnect to reality and appreciate the simple pleasures in life.
