Get outside Challenge

If we don’t force ourselves out of our comfort sometimes, there is no room for growth.

Staying huddled up inside all day, every day, all winter long is bogging me down mentally. Getting more fresh air is finally bringing back some mental clarity.

So I’m challenging myself to spend at least 10 minutes outside everyday, despite the weather.

Leave a comment if you’re willing to challenge yourself along with me!

... Read moreEngaging with nature has proven benefits for mental health. Whether it's a brisk winter walk or a sunny afternoon stroll, spending time outdoors can enhance mood, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Many participants in outdoor challenges report feeling more energized and focused. Remembering experiences, like training for a half marathon in harsh winter conditions, serves as a motivator to embrace the elements. With just ten minutes outdoors daily, you can combat the winter blues, reduce feelings of isolation, and stimulate your senses. This challenge invites you to reflect on personal growth and push past the boundaries of comfort. Connect with others on a similar journey through hashtags like #getoutside and #mentalhealthmatters, and share your progress and experiences. Every small step counts towards better mental health!

some medicinal herbs I found growing outside
I recently visited the sierra nevadas in California & ran into all of these beautiful herbs during my stay. I’d never seen St. John’s Wort growing in the wild before so I was pretty psyched about that one (although I found out it’s technically invasive so it lowkey shouldn’t have been growing

Outside Reading | Summer
Reading outside not only lets you soak up the sun but also enhances your focus and mood. I love to read by the pier or on the beach. Find your favorite spot, enjoy the fresh air, and let your imagination roam free! #booksummary 📚 Title: Training School for Negro Girls ✍️ Author: Camille Ack
