Chesil Beach Holiday Park

25/10/2026

When did you last spend time outside?

A walk without a destination. The sound of birdsong. The simple pleasure of getting a little fresh air.

Spending time outdoors can feel restorative, but have we started to lose touch with the natural world?

This week on The Sunday Wonder, we’re exploring ecotherapy, the idea of Nature-Deficit Disorder and why making room for the outdoors matters, for children and adults alike.

Plus, a few simple ways to bring more nature into your everyday life. No big adventure required.

Grab a cuppa, get cosy and discover this week’s curious read.

Read the full Sunday wonder:

Discover ecotherapy, the benefits of spending time in nature and Richard Louv's Nature-Deficit Disorder concept, with simple ways to enjoy more time outdoors.

What if the best part of your holiday is the thing you don’t do?

Meet JOMO: the Joy of Missing Out.

While FOMO tells us we need to see everything, do everything and make the most of every minute, JOMO asks a slightly different question:

What if you didn’t?

Skip the attraction. Leave the itinerary empty. Spend an afternoon on the beach. Sit with a coffee and absolutely nowhere to be.

It’s not about doing nothing all the time. It’s about choosing what matters to you, rather than feeling like you have to experience it all. Because sometimes, the moments we remember most aren’t the ones we carefully planned. They’re the ones where nothing much happened at all.

Read this week’s Sunday Wonder to discover why we’re learning to do less.

Stay curious.

What is JOMO, and why are we embracing slower holidays? Explore the psychology behind the joy of missing out and the return to doing less.
