In need of a boost of serotonin?
Our lives are so busy and sedentary, even for our children that we forget how wonderful a walk or a slow jog can be.
Our family is just back home from a walk/jog on the beach. We were there for less than an hour before sunset. And the conversation on the way back home has been enlightening.
We took some time to compare how being out and active felt compared to being engaged in a screen-based activity. The difference was significant.
Having conversations like these which raise awareness about how different activities affect us can help us make better choices in the future. Yes, it’s easier to slip behind the screen and watch a movie, but the effects of a shorter time outside far outweighs those two hours on the couch.
