How can you bring more nature into your daily life?
There are many ways to bring more nature into your daily life, but we’ve simplified them into two areas: the outdoors and the indoors.
Outdoors
Getting out into nature has hugely significant, diverse benefits. A 2019 study involving around 20,000 participants found that benefits peaked at 120-minutes, after which they start to plateau. For more significant, lasting impacts, 2 solid hours in nature seems to be the magic time frame. If you can find 2 hours out of your weekend, it will be well worth the time.
Indoors
Introduce plants into your home and workspace to allow you to exist alongside nature every day with little effort. For air-purifying plants, try a Snake Plant or Devil's Ivy—they're great at cleaning the air and are able to thrive even in low lighting. Or, for a desk-sized jungle, bonsai ficus and money trees will bring miniature, ancient-looking trees to your space.
