Sharing Economy / Gig Economy Be honest. Would you rather spend your day in a stuffy, cluttered office or would you rather spend your day outside? If you’re like most people, you’d rather be outside.
There’s something special about spending time in nature. The positive effects of Mother Earth are astounding. Did you know that spending time outside is one of the absolute best ways to improve both your mental and physical self?
Go for a hike. Jog through the park. Climb a tree. Soak up some sun. Try stand up paddle boarding. Camp in the woods. Pedal your bike. Run on a trail. Climb a mountain. Go fishing. Breathe fresh air. Take a hot air balloon ride. Find an outdoor job. Do whatever it takes to spend more time outside.
Go for half an hour on your lunch break or spend the entire day. The great outdoors is there to explore. It’s fun to be outside, but the benefits are greater than that.
We found a great article on Business Insider titled, “11 Scientifically Proven Reasons You Should Be Spending Less Time In The Office,” we got really excited. This BI post takes a look at a handful of different scientific studies that show the true benefits of nature. Here are the 11 reasons published on BI that show you why you need to spend more time outside:

Wow. Those are some awesome perks! The health benefits of nature are impressive. Go outside. Be healthy. Refresh your mind. Get some exercise. Enjoy green space. Get out of the office whenever you can manage it.
Of course, not everyone can get outside all day long. We understand that. If you really can’t get outside, get a plant and do simple exercises at your desk. Think happy thoughts and take advantage of short breaks to get some fresh air.
