JUST ONE MORE ... outdoor activity (so as to live more) [August 2019]


JUST ONE MORE ... outdoor activity (so as to live more).

To give credit where credit is due, Andrea True (and her Connection) said it first back in the Disco era -- but as previously discussed, I'm adding one extra "more" to her "more, more, more" when it comes to the 2019 version of my concept that is designed so that I can try to find a way to embrace incremental change in order to empower folks [or just me] to stay positive and solution-focused in a day and age where problems often seem insurmountable, control often seems out of reach, and apathy often seems to be running rampant.

Having already focused on "laughing more" in Q1 and "loving more" in Q2, we're now in the middle of rallying around "living more" in Q3 (with "being happy more" ahead to close out the year in Q4).  We've established that "living more" means less postponing of those items on your wish list ... less making of excuses for not doing things you enjoy ... less getting stuck in a rut and thinking that you'll "one day" get around to participating in the good things of life 

Specifically for August, it's going to be all about getting up off the couch and making the time to get outside and to enjoy the sunshine (or the rain, if the current weather pattern holds where me and mine live).  According to this source (https://www.businessinsider.com/why-spending-more-time-outside-is-healthy-2017-7), doing that very thing can increase your short-term memory, help you de-stress, reduce inflammation, eliminate depression, fight fatigue and (cue Andrea) "more, more, more" -- so many reasons to do what you've been told to do since you were a kid -- go outside to play for
just one more … outdoor activity (so as to live more).
