Among teens and young adults, smartphone use has boomed, with the average teenager now spending over nine hours on their phones daily, exacerbating issues like anxiety.
Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, can significantly enhance mental health by connecting individuals with nature. It’s not only a remedy for urban fatigue but a vital mindfulness exercise.
Practicing shinrin-yoku involves immersing oneself in nature for over 30 minutes, walking slowly, and focusing on sensory experiences to combat the distractions of modern life.
To effectively engage in shinrin-yoku, disconnect from digital distractions—setting devices to Do Not Disturb while actively connecting with natural surroundings is essential.
