“The sound of the crashing waves, the smell of salty air, the crunching of sand beneath our toes… sensations relax our bodies and tell our minds to switch off.” Words from Kate Campbell, a health psychology researcher, in the BBC article on the benefits of living in “blue spaces” like rivers, lakes and the ocean to boost emotional wellbeing.
