Mindfulness Podcasts
Inspire Workplaces have launched a unique new series of mindfulness podcasts, Take a Walk on the Mind Side, which they have created in partnership with their lead Mindfulness Practitioner, Frank Liddy, and Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs country and forest park rangers. You can pick a destination from the list of local country and forest parks and you will be accompanied on this mindfulness journey, explaining the environment and what you should see and hear, all while taking notice of the world around you.
For those of you who can’t access parks, or who want to bring nature into your homes, we have put together this video for you to view natural sites and be mindful, all from the comfort of home. Check it out below.
Take a moment to think about how you can connect with nature. That could be taking a walk in a green space, bringing nature into your home or having a seat and a cup of tea outside. Whatever it is that helps you, make sure you set aside the time to do it.
It can be difficult to find time but stepping out into nature to reflect on our surroundings can give us that time. If you are anxious about doing this, why not open the window and let the outside in? Do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Being more aware of what is happening in the present builds a sense of calm. This is good for your mental health.
Inspire’s Take A Walk On The Mind Side podcast will help you take notice, guiding your virtual excursion through the natural world. The podcast is especially useful if a local green space isn’t that accessible.
And remember to capture your travels and send them to healthandwellbeing@eani.org.uk
