Tips for Getting Outside
Getting Outside is Simple!
• Go for a walk or a bike ride
• Sit out on your front step for your morning coffee
• Open the window to let in fresh air and the sound of the birds
• Blow bubbles with the kids
• Start some yard work if that’s something you like
Suggestions:
1. When you’re outside intentionally look and listen for sounds of spring.
2. Take a picture of the same tree or patch of garden every other day to see how it changes as spring continues to develop.
3. Take a moment to be completely quiet and still and note what your 5 senses pick up.
4. You may also want to invite the outside in by bringing in a potted plant or purchasing a bouquet of flowers.
Even on colder days remember to open the curtains and be sure to look outside to enjoy the view.
