From here, you might find yourself drifting in between email, Instagram, podcasts, and so on, consuming, until you are halfway out the door. And then we do it all over again at the office.

It sounds shameful, but I think most of us can relate to this on a visceral level?

So, where do we go when we need a break from it all?

You know, a retreat from the distractions. Perhaps somewhere you can reset. Take stock of priorities. Maybe even get a better perspective on someone or something?

Nature is an antidote for stress. Calming vistas. Vast forests. The fresh air is crisp and full of positive ions.

The outside world and all its challenges just seem more insignificant when you are in nature. It’s just you and the freedom to spend your time as you like.

Take a moment to think about this. In the post-modern world, we encounter distractions during every waking moment. From the moment our alarms go off, the temptation to reach for our phones is nearly impossible. Perhaps because the very alarm is on our phones ...
