Go play outside.



The sun has come out!  Here are some good things about that:

• Trees.  Going outside shifts our perspective, especially if we can spend some time in nature.  Forest bathing is a thing for a reason.

• Vitamin D.  Many of us don’t get enough of it during the winter months.  As we age, our ability to synthesize it from sunlight also decreases.  A little sun time can do wonders for our well-being (and then put on the sunscreen so we don’t die of skin cancer).

• Changing up the routine.  The view from the elliptical trainer rarely changes.  When we can pick a different bike ride or hike or walk or run, we wake up our bodies and our minds.  We have to adapt to new routes and changing terrain.

Go play!
