The pace of our living has become FAST – paying our bills online with a click, getting fast food lunch, carrying hi-tech gadgets in our pockets and purses to quickly communicate, ordering take out dinner, learning the professor’s lecture via web cam, paying sympathy respects via drive through funeral wakes, checking in at airport kiosks v. working with an airline attendant, and the list goes on. The demands of home, work, school, family and relationships compete with our precious time, making for a hectic lifestyle. Ever feel like you’re caught in a tornado? Whirling out of control? “Burning the candle at both ends”? We know all too well that if we don’t take control and manage the demands on our precious time, stress will consume us and affect our health. What can we do? Spending more time in nature is good for you, your health AND it’s cheap! Research shows that time in green areas is important to overall health and well-being of children as well as adults.
