35: Outside

Join us on location at the beach as we explore the benefits to mental health and wellbeing of getting outside. Numerous studies have shown that being outside in different environments, whether thats a garden, park, river, bush or beach, is hugely important to our wellbeing. Our senses are stimulated in a different way, we take time to relax, and our minds open up. Listen for: Research on the beneficial aspects of being outside Benefits of seeing green (park, forest) or blue (sky, sea) Feelings of contentment and relaxation How we can incorporate the outside into our busy working days Remembering our sense of place that involve the outside And keeping on brand, Fleur invites us to explore the benefits of having your coffee outside, rather than inside, your home each morning. So make this coffee a takeaway and join us at the outdoor café.
