June is designated as the Great Outdoors Month! In 1988, then-President Clinton began the recognition of Great Outdoors Week. Since 2004, Presidential proclamation of Great Outdoors Month has been recognized annually, celebrating a variety of important events and actions that occur during the month. Great Outdoors Month highlights the benefits of active fun outdoors and our magnificent shared resources of forests, parks, refuges, and other public lands and waters. For more information, check out: www.greatoutdoorsmonth.org.
Personally, I love the outdoors and especially exercising outside. It is so enjoyable and rewarding for so many reasons such as (and these are just a few):
- Fresh air (at least more fresh than recirculated air inside a building)
- Invigorating scenery - lots of sights, sounds, smells - it's "sense"-ational
- Sustainable workouts - workouts can be sustained longer since it is a more enjoyable & pleasurable experience
- Unexpected surprises - you may run into an old friend, meet someone new, or find a new trail to explore
- Promotes creativity - allows your mind to wander; maybe resolve some lingering problem or get stimulated to start a project you've been delaying, all the while doing something really great for your body
- Sense of Freedom - with so much space to move around, it is quite freeing
In the near future, Soulistic Adventures will be offering outdoor programs for the body, mind and spirit which you can read more about under Soul Play & Soul Excursion Adventures. In the meantime, I encourage you to be adventurous now! Seek out and "explore" what outdoor resources are available to you - in your local area and start incorporating fun outdoor activities that engage your body, mind and spirit!
Inhale and breath in the great outdoors!!! aaaahhhhhh!!! |
Oh! If you haven't figured out what to do yet for Summer vacation, you may want to
consider visiting one of our great National Parks located throughout the United
States. My husband and I have gone to many over the years, and they have been
some of our greatest vacations. Being in nature and seeing the great outdoors
brings a new appreciation to our lives; a sense of balance, value, purpose,
happiness, respect, awe and a reminder that we are connected to our world, a
higher source and to each other. To explore our National Parks, go to:
