We know generally outdoor activities keeps us active and therefore can help with physical health, but can they actually improve mental wellbeing? 

Outdoor home works have long been used as sanctuaries to escape from the stresses of life. Lowering stress-hormones and providing us with a sense of reward, are just two of the ways they can be good for our mental well-being. It is well known to help people with mental health problems by inducing them to get involved with some handy works.

Here we encourage to do two  outdoor activities in your garden which you have  not experienced before. They will save you money and enhance  the efficiency of the use of  precious resources like electricity or  clean water.

The first project is to convert your sprinkler system in the garden to a drip irrigation system. It will save you a lot of water.

The second project is to convert your old garden lighting system to a LED lighting system, or simply to install a LED garden lighting system. It will save a lot of electricity.

If this is the first time you give such a try, you would like to turn it on gradually. Plan ahead and each time work on it for one or two hours. When you get tired either physically or mentally, just stop the work and relax. However, don’t give up and continue it next time. This will also build up your capability of endurance in life, 

You are learning new concepts and new skills. After a while, this will develop into a new character for you. You will become innovative in more and more things in your life.
