With increasing demands for our time and attention, it's easy to feel stressed and disconnected. In my role, I spend a lot of time thinking about health, and not just in the traditional sense of medicine and treatment. I'm increasingly focused on well-being — the holistic state of physical, mental, and social health that allows us to thrive.
Science and nature working hand-in-hand can be a powerful team.
Making it happen
What does nature have to do with a car company? Honestly, more than you might think. We named a vehicle “Explorer” for a reason. It speaks to an intrinsic part of the human experience: the desire to venture out, discover new places, and experience the world around us.
Being able to easily get to a natural environment can literally open whole new worlds of possibility. Yet the sad truth is that modern life has often fooled us into thinking that this is a journey to be undertaken sparingly — on vacations, perhaps — and with great effort.
It doesn’t have to be that way. That's why I'm especially excited to share something new that we like to call: Explorer prescriptions
These are a series of simple, accessible activities designed to help you reconnect with the natural world. To take advantage of some, you may want to hop in a car to reach a cherished space. For many of these, however, there is no need. And you don't need to live in the countryside or have access to vast wilderness areas to benefit. Nature is all around us, even in the heart of the city.
