The outdoors is a perfect setting for practicing mindfulness. In this episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush offers tips for finding mindful moments in nature.
“Spend some time outside—and let’s figure out how to be mindful while we’re doing it.”
Show Notes:

In this episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist and founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., talks about the research and how nature provides the perfect backdrop for practicing mindfulness.
