Try one thing: 10 outdoor challenges that might just change your life

Outdoors for Happiness | How To Change Your Life And Mental Health

John Burroughs said it best: “I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.” if you’re feeling like you need a change, like you need to breath fresh air, feel solid ground under your boots and , try just one thing from this list. I guarantee you’ll feel happier and healthier – a dose of the outdoors might just change your life.

Getting outside and setting myself achievable challenges is how I look after my mental health, and getting outdoors for happiness seems like such a simple and obvious antidote to frazzling modern life. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that any of these easy challenges to get you outside will change your life and your mood for the better. Don’t believe me? Try one thing from this list, I dare you.
