Good morning, everyone. It's another Sunday, folks, and I have a mission for you. It's not a hard mission. It's quite an enjoyable mission. But it is a mission and it is important. Go outside today. Spend as much time as you can out there. Cook, read, walk, work, chat, play. Just make it a point to spend, like, six or seven hours minimum outdoors today. Do that, and see how you feel. See how you sleep that night. See how you feel the next day. Observe the harmony of the room. Feel the energy. Are your kids better-behaved? Do they eat all their food without arguing? Are you and your significant other vibing better than ever before? Do you have less inclination to wallow in social media and Netflix? Are you making better choices? This won't occur in everyone. Some of you will get the outdoor time and feel pretty normal, like nothing's changed. That's fine. Even still, having spent all that time outdoors soaking up sunlight—which, even if the UV index is too low to elicit any vitamin D production, will improve your circadian health and should make sleep come more easily and be more restful—will be doing "good things" under the surface that you can't quite perceive. I feel reasonably confident that this advice is applicable to all my readers. I don't think the outdoors are entirely inhospitable anywhere at the moment. Not yet, anyway. You might have to bundle up or keep moving to stay warm or even have a fire, but I bet you can make it work. This is advice that you've heard before. This is advice that I've probably given before. Heck, maybe I've even written it for one of these newsletters. That doesn't mean it isn't good advice. So go outside today and get back to me in the comment section of Weekly Link Love and tell me how it was. Then, go do it again as much as possible. Thanks everybody, take care. |
