People who felt more connected to nature also reported higher well-being.
Researchers who study people’s relationship with the natural world often use the term
“nature connectedness.”
This phrase doesn’t simply mean going hiking or visiting a park.
Nature connectedness refers to the extent to which people see nature as part of who they are

Someone who has…

A connection to nature fuels well-being worldwide, according to a study of 38,000 people
Feeling part of something larger than yourself may make it easier to cope with stress and uncertainty.

A tranquil and inviting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a woodland trail in late autumn or early spring. The perspective is from behind a hiker, who is looking ahead at a winding trail that disappears into the distance.

Just saw that the BayVista - a place where we stayed already in the past for vacations in the #BayerischerWald - have upgraded their place. - Maybe our next hiking vacation will be there again 🤔

BayVista, die Bayerwald Lodge. Ferienwohnungen.
BayVista, die Bayerwald Lodge liegt in Frahels am Südhang mit tollem Blick in die Berge. Die Wohnungen mit Südblick haben großzügige Terrassen mit Blick auf die Berge. Schier endlose Wälder, kristallklare Bäche und eine Luft, bei der sich das Durchatmen noch lohnt.

I'm thinking about creating a(nother) real-name profile in the fedi as LinkedIn replacement (so tech & work stuff only, no hiking & photography).
And while I thought about "which server" I keep coming back to the questin "selfhost the instance?"
But maybe ... I just start at some tech-feid-server 🤔
