  2. Physical Health: Regular outdoor activities can improve cardiovascular health, boost immunity, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

  8. Improved sleep: Exposure to natural light during the day and fresh air at night can help regulate our circadian rhythms and improve sleep quality.
  9. Improved concentration and productivity: Taking a break to spend time outside can help to refresh the mind and improve focus and productivity.
  10. Something for everyone: There are outdoor activities to suit all ages, abilities, and interests, whether gardening, bird-watching, or photography. So grab your kids camp chairs and enjoy a picnic in the park.

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college.
