It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the U.S. That means the weather is getting warmer and we’re spending more time outside. Depending on where you live, there may be new places to explore while you get some sun and fresh air – all things that can nurture you. Find what makes your soul sing and shine.
I choose to enjoy time outside by being active. Whether I’m running or walking my dog. I enjoy these things. They give me joy. I like taking care of myself physically and challenging my fitness. My pooch is my little buddy and she loves to walk.
There are so many options to increase physical activity. Choose one you enjoy. Maybe find a friend to join you. I like exploring local places with new people. I recently met a new friend at Minnehaha Falls. While I’d been to the falls before, I had never explored the park. I hiked with him and had a ball taking in a local place in a new way. He helped me see that. And the cool part – it’s less than 10 minutes from my house.
Pools open this weekend, too. Siting in the sun is so relaxing that I can’t wait to soak it in. There is spirituality in being in water. I’m not saying every time I go in a pool I have a spiritual experience. I’m saying there is a calmness about it. That’s why baths are so good for your body and soul.
How can you enjoy the warmer weather as summer approaches? If you live in Minnesota like I do, you’ve gotta take advantage of every warm day. Soak it in. Find an activity that nurtures you and do it as often as possible!
