🌲🌼🌴 You Should Spend More Time in Nature | Attention Restoration Theory

Spending time in nature, by watching a sunset, gazing at the ocean or mountains, sitting in a park, escaping to the countryside or a nature retreat, or even just spending a few minutes staring out the window, provides us with the opportunity to rest, reflect, and restore our very selves. You’ve likely noticed this phenomenon before; have you ever been having a rough day or feeling down but found yourself pleasantly distracted by a beautiful scene? I’m guessing you have at least one story of #nature improving your state of mind. This common experience demonstrates nature’s valuable role in our lives and hints at another potential role: contributing to overcoming mental fatigue and improving our ability to focus and direct our attention effectively. #restoration #NRgyPlus
