In this episode, Adam and Sandi discuss:

  • Taking a nature break
  • Laughter, mindfulness, and nature
  • Nature is worth protecting

Key Takeaways:

  • Everyone needs a “nature break”, especially today’s children who are stuck in front of a screen all day. Take a breath of fresh air and see just how profound the natural world is.
  • We all have an intrinsic understanding that laughter makes us happy and an innate feeling that being in nature is good to reduce stress – these are all truths that are backed up by science, and everybody, especially kids, need laughter, nature, and mindfulness.
  • Nature is worth protecting, being in nature or near it makes us happier, makes us feel less stressed and feel generally better. We have a deep, existential relationship with nature and our lives will be better spent in it and worse without it.

“We all benefit from laughter, mindfulness, and nature in the same ways.” —  Sandi Schwartz
