Mindfulness: Outdoors is Free

Last week I finished my notice period at my previous job, and ventured out into the world as a full-time jobseeker. In addition to the challenge of job hunting, Winter is in full swing, and it’s absolutely freezing at the best of times. So how do you make sure you don’t lose your shit?

You go outside. 

My number one priority, first thing in the morning (well…after coffee) has been to get outdoors. If this means getting up half an hour early for a stroll round the park, then so be it. Fresh air and a moment in nature is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Being outdoors in nature is hugely therapeutic to me. It allows me a moment to connect with something outside myself. Even when it’s cold as balls outside, heading out to one of London’s many green spaces is the perfect way to start the day.

So if you’re reading this, I urge you: get outside! Go for a walk round the block, clear your head, and see how much better you feel.

How do you get out of your head?

Lots of love,
