7-Day Happiness Challenge: Day 1

Why Nature Matters

The bigger question is why wouldn't nature matter when it comes to your happiness? YOU are part of nature! The earth is given to SUSTAIN you... don't you think it might sustain you mental health too? Because the truth is... it does!

You probably already know that the sun gives you vitamin D, but did you know that there is actual scientific research showing that vitamin D is linked to your mood? 

Not only does the sun provide you with mood-boosting vitamin D, but nature also allows you to disconnect from the stresses of life. 

To unplug. 

To feel the breeze.

To actually think without pop-ups, ads, and social media. 

Spending time in nature truly boosts your mood, your happiness levels, but it also reduces your stress levels. 

The Challenge

1. Try to spend at least 15 minutes purposely outside (Walking to your car doesn't count!)
   
2. Snap a picture and tag us in (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
   
3. Let others know what you did outside (walk, reflect, journal under a tree, snowshoe...) 
   
4. Encourage your family to get outside too!
