Scientists believe that we all have a "blue mind". It is a mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, harmony, and a sense of general happiness and satisfaction with life at the moment that is triggered when we are near or in water. One thing the Palm Beaches do not lack is “blue spaces.” Towns like Juno Beach and Jupiter Island are perfectly situated on the banks of the Atlantic and Intracoastal, the Palm Beaches could very well be the destination you need to turn that frown upside down. Mix in a little bit of the world-renowned fine dining and entertainment and you may never leave. Time to begin searching for the mood-boosting home of your dreams!

Researchers concluded that access to “blue spaces,” or areas by the ocean or water, like Juno Beach or Jupiter Inlet, plays a significant role in a person’s mental health. While studies have shown that getting out into nature, even for just 20 minutes, can improve your mood. This finding could make a significant difference in helping a person’s emotional well-being.

Since early times, individuals have appointed healing and transformational properties to water. Living near the water or ocean has been a manner to find relaxation in a calming setting. Is it the calm swaying of the palms, the frozen drinks with the umbrellas, or perhaps the clear blue color of the water that helps improve your mood?

A study conducted by the University of Exeter found that people who live less than a mile from the coast are happier. Coastal living and waterfront property-owning residents are 22 percent less likely to have symptoms of a mental health disorder compared to those who lived much farther away.
