“The influences of nature were once the major influences on people. Some people and cultures run their lives around the cycles of nature, but the number of people who are nature-centric lessens with developments in technology. The ways in which people are affected and driven by nature are many. Being cut off from nature contributes to lowered attentiveness which in turn decreases attention capabilities. The connection to flora and fauna significantly 1) broadens and heightens understanding of cycles and fluctuations; 2) develops appreciative and inquisitive capabilities; and 3) causes people to examine and work with vegetation that aid human life and animals that enhance human existence. When people allowed fluctuations of time, season, and life to govern their lives, they developed more attentive skills.” from the chapter “What is Attention Capability?” in Oneself—Living (soon to be published).
Without a constant connection to nature, the ability to concentrate for extended periods of time is lessened and unappreciated, the ability to focus is shortened, and the ability to be resourceful is lessened. Not for everyone, but for most.
The lessening and shortening of concentration, focus and resourcefulness have led to wide-scale lack-of-attention problems. Occasionally, the problems have additional contributors such as genetic or hereditary deficits or human-inflicted causes (abuse or improper treatment). Lack-of-attention problems have become big business, and the causes are being overlooked, while the symptoms are being treated or over-treated.
The best way to reverse attention lack-of is to rediscover nature!
- More walks in green areas!
- More visits to parks and nature areas!
- More visits to petting zoos and to farms that allow the animals to be touched!
- More fruit picking and visits to farmers’ markets!
- More plants and flowers inside the home and more attention to landscaping outside the home!
- More observation of roadside scenery, of the sky and of the landscape around us!
- More visits to water: beaches, lakes, rivers and springs!
- More visits to botanical gardens and other city gardens!
- More participation in community gardens and garden clubs!
- More making of mud pies and castles in the sand!
- More walking barefoot in the grass!
- More playing of instruments! (Oops-this hint belongs in another post, but it applies here too 🙂
