Nature helps<br />
you feel better.<br />
Cortisol is another name for a stress hormone, otherwise<br />
known as the thing that peaks in busy people around 3pm<br />
every Wednesday. Recent studies have shown that even<br />
one night in nature - as opposed to the median strip near<br />
your office that someone called a park - can significantly<br />
decrease your cortisol levels. Getting out into greenery<br />
regularly not only slows down overactive minds and<br />
replaces circulated office aircon with crisp 02, but it can<br />
genuinely affect your mood.<br />
Nature<br />
recentres you.<br />
If you want to get an instant understanding of how small<br />
our issues are in the grand scheme of things, there’s<br />
nothing quite like throwing your arms around a tree that’s<br />
been alive for hundreds of years. Out in the middle of<br />
nowhere, distraction-free with only rolling hills, clear night<br />
sky and a few birds for company, the truth about what<br />
really matters naturally presents itself.<br />
Nature<br />
stimulates<br />
creativity.<br />
The uninterrupted vastness of wild green spaces, away<br />
from screens and schedules is the perfect place to bend<br />
your grey matter, follow strange new thoughts down<br />
rabbit holes and daydream productively. Whether it’s<br />
work-related or simply the chance to think differently<br />
about life or love, nature is your new creative happy place.
