Have you ever got that feeling that there aren't enough hours in the day? But then, you step outside into the countryside and everything seems slower. It's not just you—recent research shows that nature can regulate our sense of time.
For many of us, life is busy with work, home, and family, making us feel like we never have enough time. This time problem has become more serious as digital(数码的) technologies is becoming more popular. But recent research shows that nature might be the solution to our time problems. A psychologist(心理学家) named Richardo Correia from the University of Turku in Finland found that being in nature can change how we feel about time and even make us feel like we have more time.
Correia studied how people feel about time when they do different tasks(任务) in the city and in nature. He found that people always feel time goes more slowly in nature compared to the city. For example, people are more likely to think a walk in the countryside longer than a walk in the city. Similarly, doing tasks in green environments makes people feel time passes more slowly. Nature seems to slow down our sense of time.
Why does nature influence our sense of time? The way we experience time is shaped by our brains and the events going on in the world around us. As a result, feelings such as stress, worries and fear can distort(歪曲) our sense of the passage of time. The relaxing influence of natural environments may lower stress, resulting in a more stable(稳定的) experience of time.
