The Ozadi Method™ of working with nature
The Ozadi Method changes the way you work and live through a progression of integration with nature. We recommend incorporating the following three new habits: Break for nature during the workday, integrate nature into your work, and embrace nature beyond work. Below are suggestions on how to do each.
Break for nature during the workday
Habit 1: Nature Breaks
Ever wonder why being outside makes you feel good? Taking a walk in nature and observing nature reduces stress and heart rate. Use all of your senses to take in the elements: fresh air, foliage, wildlife, water, and sky. Standing, and especially walking, provide additional health benefits during these breaks.
Each hour
Take a 5-minute break using nature, whether it's gazing outside or going outside for a breath of fresh air.
Twice a day
Take morning and afternoon 15-30 minute nature breaks. Use your lunch break for an opportunity to use the outdoors to re-energize.
Integrate nature into your work
Habit 2: Integrate more nature into your work
Most work that you do in an office can be done outdoors. Below is a list of types of work that you can take outdoors. Download the Ozadi List of Common Work Activities (CWA) you can do in nature below and start your Ozadi journey NOW!
Reading
We all have books, articles, blogs, etc. we want/need to read to maintain our edge in our work. The right outdoor environment will facilitate maximum focus.
Processing email may feel mundane and becomes more pleasant when outdoors. Email tasks do not always require connectivity to WiFi. Do it outdoors to be more productive and enjoy minimal distractions.
Writing
Authors, Artists and Creatives go to nature to be inspired to do their best. Do your writing tasks in nature and discover how much more productive and innovative you can be.
Meetings
Nature helps us escape distraction and calms our emotions. When meeting with someone, take a walk while you talk or make your call. Holding a meeting outside invigorates conversation.
Brainstorming
