I know for sure that I have a different calmer feeling about me for the rest of the day if I've been on a long walk, sat in the park or been around animals.
In 2018 a research study conducted by King's College London found that being amongst trees, hearing bird song, seeing the sky and feeling in contact with nature helps our mental health.
So I thought I'd give you my best tips on how to bring nature into the office - thank me later…
Make your phone/ computer screensaver a picture of nature.
Put up pictures of natural terrains, such as oceans, mountains and forests.
Get an essential-oil diffuser, our favourite scents are lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint - yum.
Get a fish tank or a fountain with running water.
Collect sea shells/ feathers/ leaves and decorate your desk with them.
Walk around barefoot.
Get a dog or offer to look after someone else's, this will increase the likelihood of you going outside and will lower your cholesterol.
