033 - HOW TO RECONNECT WITH NATURE - THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL BENEFITS WE CANNOT IGNORE.
Over 99% of our very existence has been founded on our ability hunt and gather. Today less than 5% of people understand the need to connect with nature and fewer understand the serious health consequences associated with not doing so.
It is only since the onset of the agricultural age some 10,000 years ago that we began domesticating our lands. In just a few generations, mostly within that of my grandparents to the present day, everything dramatically changed – and there can be little argument to say for the better.
“There is a wealth of research that illustrates how disconnection from nature is linked to mental and physical illness”
Society has become increasingly industrialised and urbanised, with most of us deeply disconnected from the natural world– I’m not going to get all Greta Thunberg on you, but right now might be the best time to adopt some ancestral norms and have a plan to reconnect to nature, no matter how small.
I am not suggesting we give up our luxuries, move into a cave and start eating our cats.
