People love to be in nature, and according to scientists, this is something that has been passed down for generations. Regardless of cultural differences, humans gravitate toward natural images, whether that’s in photographs or the views outside our windows.
This innate desire to be surrounded by nature stems from the first men who would have grown up around and relied on the natural world.
People are very busy nowadays, especially when it comes to working. This means we can often lose sight of taking some time out. Even when we do take time to relax, we’re usually in front of screens – whether that’s the TV, phones or laptops. Getting out in nature teaches us to slow down and check in with ourselves away from everyday distractions. A meaningful connection with nature can actually help us connect more with ourselves.
