Don’t just talk about it do it

Oct 11, 2017 | Advice | 0 comments

Life can get really busy and we start the snowball of putting things off.  As much as I am capable of putting off the run/walk/climb I recognise that over time I suffer mentally.

The connectivity with nature, physical activity and being with others is essential to mental and physical wellbeing.  Many of us are operating in a world that is just getting faster and faster, deadlines, 5-star customer service, next day delivery, the technology that means that we can achieve things faster and do more in the same amount of time.

Timeout for ourselves in nature, whatever form that takes for you, is quite significant in our long-term mental health. It is easy to talk about it, but doing it may take some more commitment.
