Shownotes

Imagine that every day you are writing down places that make you happy? After a few months, you are looking back at your list, what kind of pattern do you notice? 

A project called Mappiness analysed records from over 20,000 people on “happy places” and made a clear conclusion: we consistently report higher levels of happiness when we are outdoors and in green, natural environments. Places like the sea, coasts, mountains, woodlands, and parks boost our happiness.

This might be nothing surprising, so perhaps the more intriguing question is why does nature have such a positive impact on our wellbeing? And even more importantly how we can reconnect with nature especially if we live in urban cities?

In this episode, Klaudia discusses the impact of nature on our happiness with Dr Lucy Loveday, GP and Founder of Movement &The Mind® , who is currently working on a project of introducing green prescriptions into the mainstream healthcare.
