Most of my waking hours during this amazing adventure have been spent outdoors. I read a study that stated most people spend 90% of their time indoors and as they age, that number goes up even more. I made a promise to myself that when I return home, I will continue to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
Most of you are probably aware of the benefits of spending time outside – both from a mental and physical perspective. My main reason for spending time outside is ….. it makes me happy!! I love spending time in nature.
I would encourage everyone to unplug and go outside. It doesn’t have to be a trek up a mountain. It may be a walk around the block, a hike in the woods, sitting by a stream or lake, meditating in a garden, strolling on a beach … anything that gets you out the door will do!!!
The great outdoors can lift your spirits, it can help you de-stress, and it can help eliminate fatigue. Spending time outside helps lower blood pressure and helps fight anxiety, and has also been known to boost your immune system (can’t we all use that now!). Why not give it a shot!!
