Get Outside. Explore.

You do not have a good reason not to be spending more time outside. Unless of course, your work is outdoors.    

The benefits you would derive from spending more time outside are immeasurable.  

  • Space promotes creativity;

  • Outdoors, increased oxygen, the wind blowing through trees supports your well being;

  • Meetings are more fun in the sun (I just moved from Miami, I don't know what it's like in Winter);

  • Being in nature allows our natural curiosity to flourish; we explore more of our world; and

  • A boatload of additional benefits.

I enjoy hiking. I would not describe myself as "outdoorsy," nor would I describe myself as a "hiker," I love being outdoors. For me, being outside is an opportunity to explore, and I love exploration. I see it as a chance to learn more about the world around me, relate what I've learned to another thing, and build a more massive mental construct of the world. Doing so allows me to see my own role in the world better. What works for me doesn't have to work for you.

I encourage you to turn off your phone and get outside more so that you can discover what turns you on. I want you to have an opportunity to see yourself in the world a bit better. If you're not much for the outdoors, that's fine, take a walk around your neighborhood. Get outside. Explore.
