For example, it can decrease stress and anxiety levels, improve mood, and increase physical activity and abilities. Additionally, it can help to improve cognitive functioning, increase creativity, and even help with self-confidence. Furthermore, being near water can improve concentration and help to promote a sense of relaxation, connection, and well-being.
