From stopping to notice the trees and the clouds to putting bird boxesnear your windows, spending more time with nature can boost yourhealth and wellbeing.Adapt your routine
Spending two hours a week in nature has been found to give health andwellbeing a significant boost, according to research by the University ofExeter Medical School. Dr Mathew White, who led the study, suggestedthat a sense of tranquility could be key. Starting your day with a coffeein the garden, or even near an open window, is a simple way to inspirecalm. Going outside during your lunch break or spending a few minuteslooking at the night sky before bed are other ideas.
Pay attention to what is around you 
Leanne Manchester of the Wildlife Trusts encourages people to take acloser look at plants, trees and even weeds. “Stop to watch bees buzzingaround flowers. There’s life everywhere, but it is so easy to miss it;instead, slow down, stop and notice it.” Claire Francis of thecharity Sensory Trust says: “Getting outdoors and connecting withnature needn’t involve a five-mile hike.” Jo Phillips, a director of theForest School Association, suggests looking for “five beautiful things”to engage your senses. “It could be a flower, the clouds, lichen on trees,or the natural light.”
Share in nature
Getting off the bus a stop early or going for a walk during breaks atwork are simple ways to increase exposure to nature, says Manchester.If you’re walking with someone, Phillips suggests pointing out elementsthat have caught your eye, especially if you are with children. “Lookingafter the planet needs to become a priority, so we should do everythingwe can to ensure the parents of the future have memorable experiencesin nature, so they can pass on that knowledge to their children.”
