The evidence is clear: connecting with nature is essential to human well-being.

Spending time in nature can lower stress, improve focus, and boost mood.

  • The American Heart Association emphasizes that spending time in nature can help alleviate stress and anxiety, enhance mood, and increase feelings of happiness and well-being (www.heart.org).

  • An article by The APA-affiliated “Nurtured by Nature” notes that spending time in nature is linked to cognitive benefits and improvements in mood, mental health, and emotional well‑being (American Psychological Association).

  • A study by Cornell University observed that spending 10–50 minutes in natural settings improved mood, focus, and physiological markers, such as blood pressure and heart rate (Cornell Vet College).

Regular time outside is linked to better sleep, stronger relationships, and overall well-being.”

  • Research from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health reports that spending time outdoors in green spaces is linked to better sleep, lower blood pressure, and improved mental health and well‑being (Harvard Chan School of Public Health).

  • A 2025 Frontiers article found that outdoor physical activity (like hiking) is associated with better physical and psychological health and improved sleep among children (Frontiers).

  • Nature-exposure studies summarized in general sources also link access to green space with enhanced mood, happiness, and subjective well-being (Wikipedia).

Even short ‘green breaks’ can restore attention and creativity.

  • A study found that even a short 40-second micro‑break where participants viewed a green roof (a natural scene) helped restore attention (fewer cognitive errors compared to viewing a concrete roof) (Wikipedia).

  • Another study reinforced this, showing that short exposures—such as 40 seconds of gazing at a natural scene—significantly improved attention (Nature).

  • Broader coverage describes how brief nature exposure improves attention and cognitive performance (UC Davis Health).
