When was the last time you were....outside. Yes, outside!
And I don't mean walking from your car to the store and back. I mean actually outside. Did you know it's actually therapeutic to be outdoors? People are meant to connect with nature, and being outside can do great things for you, for your thinking, for your happiness, and even for your health!
If you haven't been outside lately, let me suggest you get there fast! Not sure what to do? Start by taking a walk. Go out, even if just for a few blocks or a mile, and walk around. Take in the fresh air, feel the breeze and the sun on your skin, and inhale. Repeat. The therapeutic aspect of it helps to open your mind and you really have a chance to connect with yourself. Steve Jobs used to go for walks all the time with his employees / teammates. He did his best thinking when he walked. And it's so true! Your thoughts can become so clear you'll be astounded at the thoughts and solutions that come to you!
Another idea? Take your coffee, dinner, or evening glass of vino onto the porch / balcony / or whatever outdoor space you have! You're going to be sitting anyways, allow yourself to do the do while enjoying the beautiful scenery.
So enjoy your walk. Enjoy your bike ride, or just enjoy your twenty minute coffee! Here's the the power and beauty of nature.
