Do we
really need another
nature poster in our
life? It's likely. While a fortunate few of us do
have an office or studio in a natural setting, the
fact is, most of us work in an environment that's not
always completely 'natural'.
Yet, I believe that's what a lot of us are aiming
for. Have you ever felt like that? Maybe in dreams of
how you see your life unfolding, you hold pictures of
yourself surrounded by nature, or in a natural
environment.

So there
you have it. And of course, a nature poster is often
very beautiful to look at, so that's a positive
aspect.
We can't all be hanging out in national parks or on
Antartic ice caps or on the top of Mount Kilamanjaro.
There's too many of us.
For most of us, the concept of doing such a thing is
way too big anyway.
So next best is to get a visual picture of what we
know exists, what we often find to be profound and
truly amazing.
Viewing a
nature poster bring us back to a humble, awe like
state where often we can grasp an appreciation for
just how magnificent and incredible we are, and
nature is.
In fact, it's one and the same, but that's another
story.
Nature experiences increase fascination, intrinsic
interest, and enjoyment.
"The wilderness inspires feelings of awe and
wonder... individuals feel better acquainted with
their own thoughts and feelings, and they feel
'different' in some way - calmer, at peace with
themselves, 'more beautiful on the inside and
unstifled.' " -John V Davis
Where were we? Ah that's right, nature posters. For a
moment then, I was completely zoned out in some
beautiful, misty zen Japanese garden!
You can't get too much of this stuff. Obviously we
need it - it's a part of us! A nature poster gives us
the ability to connect, to go there, to travel to a
place of wonder and beauty...
I know, it's just a poster. But surely if it moves us
in some way, be it just briefly, it can motivate us
to move towards our dreams and realization of our
goals. A nature poster is certainly inspiring. How
many times have you heard yourself saying 'wow I'd
love to do that' or ' I'll go there one day'?
And you can, if you really want to! And just think -
we see in pictures. So by looking at a nature poster
you can imagine... see yourself... in a similar
environment, doing something you've always wanted to
do. Or moving further towards a huge goal or project
that makes you uncomfortable just thinking about its
potential!
Or of course - just enjoy the sheer pleasure of the
moment!
Have fun. And when you come back, let me know!

Footnote: Nature
posters inspire me. Always make me feel good, but
perhaps in a deeper subconscious way... plus I'd
rather be there, rather than just looking at the
poster itself. Still, a great nature shot... Just
think of the photographic potential if you make it
into a poster or calendar...

This
might be a home farm, studio in the hills, or even an
indoor garden, anywhere where we can get that
necessary direct contact with nature.
"More and more, research points to the value of
direct contact with nature, informing us that it
leads to 'increased mental health and psychological
development' and explains why city-dwellers have such
an attraction for nature."
Cities do have their place. And yet, when we get out
of the city we start to appreciate nature even more.
Nature allows us to free up our senses more, reduce
stress, relax and enjoy the tranquility of it all.
"Research... shows that a window view of nature
(rather than a built environment) improves work
performance in job settings, and increases job
satisfaction.
(This may also help explain the predominance of
posters and picture calendars with nature scenes on
walls of windowless office cubicles.)" -John V
Davis
