Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest...be in health...
3 John 1:2
"It’s no secret that getting outside in nature is good for your mental health. From the serotonin-boosting effect of sunlight exposure to the impact a walk around your local park can have on your mood, getting outdoors – whether that’s to the beach, woods or your local park – can provide a whole host of benefits.
And that’s where the Nordic concept of ‘friluftsliv’ comes in.
The term, which translates roughly to
‘open-air living,’ is widely popular across the Nordic countries where,
despite freezing temperatures and very few hours of sunlight throughout
the winter months, getting outside and embracing the outdoors is part of life all year around.
Although traditional friluftsliv is all about being outdoors as often and for as long as possible, sitting outside during your lunch break or making a walk part of your daily routine is a great place to start." PocketWorthy
