If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re living in the northern hemisphere. That means that, like the rest of us, you’re stuck in the dead of winter. The holidays have passed, but we’re living in that long period of cold and dark where it feels like depression, lack of exercise, and poor eating habits thrive. But hold up! There’s a way to flip the script on that, and it’s as easy as going outside. It’s true, leaving your house, getting out of the darkness and into the light is just about the best thing you can do for your body, mind, and soul. Not only is it a great source of vitamin D, which has been linked to all kinds of health benefits, it’s also a great way to take a holistic approach to your health. Simply put: when you’re outside and active you feel better, when you feel better you build better habits, when you build better habits your life feels more fulfilling. It’s a self-fulfilling cycle that can start today, you just need to take the first step.
