Plan fixed times outdoors Take time for nature
It doesn’t always have to be a long walk: even just a little stroll of 20 minutes can have an enormous effect on our well-being and health. As long as you don’t live right next to an aeroplane runway, it almost doesn’t matter where you go for a walk.
In fact, you shouldn’t let a day go by without lacing up your shoes to at least take a short run and get some exercise in the fresh air. However, in everyday life, somewhere between the supermarket and work, this really important outdoors time is all too often neglected. Even though we actually do know better. There’s always something more important, more urgent, to take care of, and before you know it, the day is over. Dedicating a fixed time slot in your daily calendar can be a great help. If in doubt, the mornings are usually the best time for this, when there is the least risk of something getting in the way. And if you simply take your morning coffee with you in a travel mug, you won’t even have “lost” any time.
