For the past few weeks, I’ve been looking at my gardens and acknowledging that, for now, anyway, I can see more weeds than wanteds. (After all, a weed is just a plant growing where it isn’t wanted.) Various things have gotten in the way of going out and weeding, and that’s just how life goes sometimes.
Today, though, I said to myself, “Self, GO OUTSIDE. It doesn’t have to be forever, and whatever you do, it doesn’t have to be perfect. But GO OUTSIDE and do SOMETHING.” Today’s something was weeding. It isn’t perfect, it definitely isn’t done, but it was enough to be outside and doing something. Sometimes, the something is just sitting and enjoying fresh air and sunshine. (Although if it’s 105F, it is more likely shade, and not for long.) And oh, goodness, but I was so delighted to discover goldenrod in the area I weeded!
This post from a few years back still applies. Go outside, whether it’s 5 minutes, 15 minutes, or 50 minutes. Your health will thank you.
Stuck and having issues figuring out how to rearrange your schedule, set & achieve your health goals, and get outside more? ;) Let’s chat about how health coaching can help!
Cheers! Here’s to your health!
