I'm going to share a personal anecdote with you this week and still weave in some of the science and arguments to help convince you to incorporate the things that will help you live well.
Tune in as I share the story behind my family’s recent draining traumatic experience and relate that to the healing power nature has on us, humans.
What you will learn from this episode:
---- Understand how spending time with nature helps regulate emotions, especially difficult ones;
---- Recognize how moments of awe in life play a huge role in us, living the best life, nourishing both our body and our mind; and
---- Find out how being with nature helped Dr. Adrienne feel better after a draining event in life
“It's true – being in nature does turn off our internal alarm system, the part of our nervous system that triggers us to action in the midst of a threat.” – Dr. Adrienne Youdim
Today’s Health Bite: Spend time outside, with nature. It helps regulate our emotions, making us feel better, and be in awe at how life unfolds.
