In Part 1 of this episode, I discuss the topic of nature and how it can enhance our wellbeing, feelings of safety and security and ultimately our health and productivity. In Part 1, I am joined by interior designer Tara Cantwell of Cantwell Interiors (https://www.cantwellinteriors.com), who provides rich insight into how we can bring nature into our homes and workspaces. Part 2 is a bonus exclusive episode that further explores how taking a walk in nature can relax our fight and flight system, lowering stress and promoting productivity thanks to a reduction in activity in the region of the brain called the amygdala. Part 2 is available to members of Everyday Neuro Acast+ and Patreon. See the website for more details at everydayneuro.com.au/podcasts.
