Mindfully Connecting With Nature
Briefly

The article emphasizes the positive effects of nature on mental health, particularly in springtime, highlighting research that supports cognitive benefits from nature. It notes obstacles that prevent people from engaging with nature, such as long work hours and technology distractions. Suggesting brief practices, such as observing the changing scenery outside a window, it emphasizes that even small moments spent connecting with nature can significantly improve mood and sense of connectedness, serving as reminders of nature’s accessibility and importance for well-being.
Simply look out the window! Our visual attention is easily grabbed by our devices; even if you can't get outside, spend five minutes observing the scenery outside.
Even a brief digital detox from distractions can be greatly valuable, but we can also build the habit of shorter, regular practices to connect with nature.
