Attention Restoration
👁🌲👁
“Attention Restoration Theory suggests that mental fatigue and concentration can be improved by time spent in, or looking at nature. The capacity of the brain to focus on a specific stimulus or task is limited and results in 'directed attention fatigue'.”
(ART) (Kaplan, 1989, 1995)

Attention Restoration is a practice to explore in Ecotherapy. It can be really helpful for people working through ADHD (any age), and those who spend too much time on screens (probably most of us).

My hope is to share these little tidbits of Ecopsychology education and practices on this page. Learning and sharing are good medicines for all.
