    Finding Time to Get Outdoors (1000 Hours Challenge)

    Episode 12 embarks on an adventure of finding time to embrace the great outdoors. Our discussion is inspired by the challenge of spending 1000 hours outdoors, a task that may seem daunting but holds great significance in physical, mental, and cognitive health. We trace our journey of becoming more outdoorsy which had inevitable struggles of juggling weather conditions and safety concerns that arise with young children. We unpack the distinction between being 'outside people' and 'outdoorsy people' and share personal experiences. We also reflect on the importance of exposing children to outdoor activities from a young age and the remarkable growth that ensues. Learn a lesson or two as we recap some findings that underscore the extensive benefits of being outdoors. Improved cognitive functioning, enhanced physical health, and tackling mental health issues like depression and anxiety are few benefits detailed here. We also bring attention to the positive impact of vitamin D and reducing cortisol levels that manage stress in our bodies.  Find out the background and features of the "1000 Hours Outdoor Challenge" From setting realistic outdoor goals to embracing the essence of various natural practices like Norway's 'Friluftsliv' and Japan's 'Shinrin-yoku,' this episode is a treasure trove of information on becoming more outdoorsy.
