Waugh's insights encourage individuals to embrace the outdoors as a means of enhancing mental resilience and emotional stability. As society increasingly recognizes the value of nature in promoting mental health, Waugh's research offers valuable perspectives on how we can harness the healing power of the natural world in our daily lives.
