Back To Human: Reconnecting with Nature

It's common to find ourselves glued to screens, opting to stay indoors rather than venturing outside to enjoy the fresh air, sounds of nature, and the beauty of the world. However, amidst the hustle and bustle of life, a sanctuary awaits rediscovery.

Even in Singapore, a concrete jungle, there are hidden oases of greenery. From small parks to lush sanctuaries located within walking distance, these spaces offer a temporary retreat.

To reconnect, start by simply deciding to step outside and immerse yourself in the natural environment. Take a leisurely walk in a nearby park, find a quiet spot to sit and observe the world around you, or plan a picnic in a scenic outdoor location.

Engage your senses by taking the time to notice the sights, sounds, and sensations that surround you. Close your eyes and listen to the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind, breathe in the fresh scent of flowers and trees, and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Try to develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the natural world around you.

Finally, make nature part of your daily routine. Whether it's going for a morning jog in the park, eating lunch outside instead of at your desk, or spending a weekend cycling on a trail, look for ways to integrate the outdoors into your life.

Let us not forget the restorative power of Mother Earth, through which we can find solace, rejuvenation, and a renewed sense of wonder. So step out, breathe in the fresh air, and rediscover what our planet has to offer.
