Scientific method was invented for making objective observations about the world. In one's day-to-day life though, being too fond of it might be limiting. E.g if a walk in the park makes you in particular feel good, you don't need a research to back it up for everyone. Moreover, there are common misconceptions about the scientific method. A "scientifically proven" thing is just the current state of affairs, science doesn't "prove" things once and for all.
