Spending time in nature can decrease anxiety and depression, boost mood, and lower blood pressure. Many people enjoy recreational activities like walking, hiking, playing sports, and gardening.
I enjoy being outside, but I also have struggles.
I sunburn easily, I hate wind, and I am sensitive to both heat and cold.
A perfect day for me to be outside would be 75-80 degrees, overcast, with no wind.
Ideal doesn't happen very often.
I also have to factor in air quality and the presence of mosquitos.
My apartment has a patio. I enjoy sitting outside and reading. I also take walks around the complex when the temperature allows.
I have been to outdoor events like Renaissance Festivals and day trips to look at wildflowers, or lunch at a food truck park. I've been really lucky lately with the weather. But even if it's windy or hot I'll still go when I can. I don't want to miss those times with friends.
