BLOG: It’s Time to Get Outside!
We survived another winter. Spring has called out to us early this year – the temperatures have
warmed, and the days are longer. The hope that winter has passed for good begins to lift our spirits.
Gone are the months of hibernating indoors. Perhaps we can feel the effects of SAD (Seasonal Affective
Disorder) beginning to ease up on our hearts and minds. It’s time to get outside and soak up the mental,
physical, and emotional health benefits the great outdoors has to offer to each of us. See a few ideas
listed below:
Take 5 minutes to:
Stand outside with the sun on your face
Take off your shoes and feel the grass in between your toes
Gaze through a window at the scenery outside
Take 25 minutes to:
Take a walk, take deep breaths
Eat lunch outside
Take a phone call/hold a meeting outdoors
5 other free ideas for getting outside:
Plan a picnic
Find a hiking trail
Go for a bicycle ride
Take your dog for a walk
Go bird watching anywhere outside
Wishing you wonderful days, weeks, and months filled with experiences that take you outdoors!
