Whilst I\u00a0really wish I was packrafting in Iceland today, I\u2019m not. Instead I\u2019ve been blasting away at this screen for 7 hours now \u2013 and I\u00a0even forgot to eat lunch (a rare occurrence indeed!) What I\u00a0really needed was just a few minutes away from my screen, to climb a tiny hill,\u00a0stare off into the distance, and let my brain wind down a little.\u00a0Studies show that even 15 minutes in nature lowers stress and improves focus.<\/p>\n

Perhaps best of all, the days it has taken me to put this little blog post together have helped me build more of a daily habit of exploring the green pockets of space close to where I\u00a0live.<\/p>\n

Even if you\u2019re not a \u2018nature person,\u2019 just try it once. Take your coffee outside, walk a different route home, or sit under a tree. See how it feels.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0think the notion of \u201915 Minutes to Nature\u2019 is something I\u00a0might explore further. What do you think? Where\u2019s the nearest bit of nature to you? How often do you go?\u00a0Hit \u2018reply\u2019 and let me know your ideas, and please do get involved in the challenge below!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
