Hi, I'm Tara Welch from the Rock Center for Youth Development here in Midland County, where we really focus on wellbeing for youth ages 12, all the way up to post-secondary and college.
Today, I want to share one of my favorite Life Hacks: # 103 Engaging with Nature. It's a daily habit for me and really helps me feel my best.
I keep it simple by taking a walk after dinner every night with my dogs—no technology, just trees, fields, and fresh air. At work, I’ll often take calls outside if I don’t have to be at my desk. I will also drive with my windows down for a refreshing breeze, even when it’s chilly or I’ll go outside even during the winter months and take five deep breaths of fresh air, which feels amazing and re-energizing.
If you want to try this Life Hack out here are some idea I know some people will go eat their lunch in the car with all the windows down. Or another idea is to keep a plant on your desk, it’s a little touch of greenery that can bring nature to you. I hope this Life Hack inspires you to find ways to connect with nature daily.
