Want to feel the earth move under your feet? Take a hike! There's no time like spring to get out and enjoy nature -- she's putting on a show for anyone interested in watching. Get out with a friend and catch up on his life; go alone and reconnect with yourself, go with a date and get romantic. It can be whatever you want. Here's the lowdown.

Great things happen to your mind and body when you head outdoors, confirms psychiatrist Irvin Wolkoff. This is especially true in the spring. "Spring engulfs us in a wide variety of delicious, sensual stimuli. For starters, we get a longer day and more intense daylight. Even people who do not have seasonal affective disorder (depression related to lack of sunlight) tend to experience improved mood when the sun comes back to their neighborhood."

Check out the amazing aromas of spring: There are places within easy reach of even the largest urban center where you can smell delicious forest floor aromas and be dazzled by the bouquet of newly burst buds and the flowers and leaves that emerge from them. Equally delightful are the sounds of the outdoors in spring, especially if you spend your life locked in an office. These include things like the sounds of running water, birds, frogs, and even the wind in tree branches. All of them can take you to a better place, says Dr. Wolkoff. .....
