Just in case you were looking for another reason to get out and enjoy the great outdoors, a new study shows that leaving al the demands of modern day society behind and spending some time away from technology out in the country can make a huge improvement in your creativity. In the study, two groups of backpackers were given a standardized test that measures executive attention (creativity). One group was tested before going on a trip and another was tested after four days on the trail without any electronic devices. The results showed a very large difference in the performance of the two groups.
Sightseeing in the USA doesn't have to take place at distant national parks, there are thousands of hiking trails all around the country where one can get away and enjoy the natural beauty that this country has to offer. Hiking is not only good for your physical well-being, but as this new study shows, it's good for your mental well-being as well.
