30 Days of Outdoor Activity: Day 10
On Saturday, I did my errands by foot and found cool stuff along the way!
Simple.
Getting outdoor activity doesn’t need to be complicated.

30 Days of Outdoor Activity: Day 9
On Friday, Day 9 of this challenge, I was tired after a long week of work. I wanted to go home and get under a warm blanket but it was one of my friend’s birthday party and I didn’t want to miss it. I decided to stay at my office at the hospital and go directly to the party from there. To wake myself up and refresh, I explored downtown by foot on my way to the party. In the end, the party was fantastic, and I had a wonderful evening!

What was the trick? Addressing the transitions. If I had gone home, I would have had to convince myself to go out again. By leaving from my office, I was already “out” so it was a less dramatic transition and just felt easier.

30 Days of Outdoor Activity: Day 8. On Thursday, I took my daughter to the climbing gym. Again, we could’ve drove, but we decided to walk. We had a lovely walk involving a couple of snow fights and a great bouldering sesh at the gym.

I also walked to the metro to get to work. So by the end of the day, I had walked about 45 minutes outside. I didn’t have to make a big effort to do it. It happened because that’s how I am getting around. I’ve made it easy - walking is the norm.

30 day challenge. Yesterday I really wasn’t feeling it. I was super cosy at home and I wasn’t in the mood to go outside. But I made my commitment here so I knew I had to do it. I decided to go for a cross country ski in my neighborhood. I’m lucky that my neighbourhood includes a very long ski trail. If you live in a place where there’s snow you might be surprised to find that there are Cross country ski trails in many many City parks.

Once I got into it and started my ski playlist, the rhythm began to take over and the beauty became apparent.

How did I make it happen?
I had to get over that friction point, that inertia point of not wanting to move and not wanting to go out. Once I did, it became a lot easier. Sticking to new habits isn’t about willpower. It’s about getting over that initial friction point.

30 Day Challenge of 15 minutes of outdoor activity a day: yesterday my “activity” was getting groceries on foot. We took a detour and realized we could walk on the river - yeah!

I brought a big comfy back pack to put my groceries in so my hands would be free and the walk would be more enjoyable.

A trick to getting outdoor activity: make it necessary - no walk = no groceries.

IMPORTANT: we were walking on a very shallow part of the river, very close to shore - it is important to take extreme caution when exploring frozen lakes and rivers.
