I read a great article today about the benefits of getting out in nature.
The article was How Much Time Should You Spend Outside, According to Michael Easter (menshealth.com)]
The article had a 20-5-3 rule.
Spend 20 minutes in nature 3 times a week
Spend 5 hours every month in semi-wild areas.
Spend 3 days a year completely in nature, cut off from your everyday life.
For me, spending time in nature has helped during the last year of COVID.
In that regard, I am lucky. The picture for this post is a 5-minute drive and a 15-minute walk from where I live.
Walking along that creek helps keep the stress of every day manageable and keeps my spirit uplifted.
