Be On The Outside

Stress Management

Tent set up in the woods.

Add more “outdoors” to your life to reduce stress, improve mood and restore attention levels by giving your brain a break.

Exercise outdoors:Instead of only exercising at the gym or other indoor space, include activities you can do on a nature or fitness trail. Examples include brisk walking, jogging, cycling or roller-blading.

Spend quality time:Visit a park or go for a social walk with friends and family.

Get quiet in nature:Find a place to sit quietly to relax or meditate to help connect with your mind, body and spirit.
