Mind Wandering
According to a recent article from the ONS (27th Nov 2023), there are up to a million fewer people spending less time in nature, following the pandemic.
Regardless of the reasons behind this,the lack of time in nature can have quite a negative effect on people’s health & wellbeing, hence our quest to get people outside.
Benefits
Being outside in nature is categorically proven to enhance wellbeing and creative thinking. In Garry Pratts book, ‘The Creativity Factor’, he cites evidence to suggest that spending quality time in nature increases creativity by a factor of 46%, therefore getting outside seems to be a ‘no Brainer’!
Exercise is good, getting into the countryside for as little as 5 minutes can have a positive effect on mood, and after only 5- or 10-minutes creativity improves. So why would anyone not wish to do so?
Dom Higgins – The Wildlife trusts, is quoted as saying ‘There are health and wellbeing benefits to spending more time in nature. It’s been shown to particularly tackle mild to moderate depression, feelings of stress and anxiety’.
In Summary
Exercise, creative thinking, health benefits, meeting and chatting with ‘like-minded’ people and a true spirit of knowledge sharing and collaboration, are all readily available just as soon as you put your walking boots on!
Join us and feel the benefit of ‘Mind Wandering’.
