I needed an attitude adjustment, so I wandered outside

I was sitting inside feeling quite overwhelmed. A combination of music and fresh air fixed my attitude for me.
I love the springtime, everything feels new, and the days become "longer". It looks like spring is beginning here. My lilac bush started to bud, so I hope it does not get too cold again. That happened a few years ago, warmed up in late winter and everything thought it was spring and started blooming, really messed with the local apple crop, and my poor lilac bush too. We had a couple warm days this week (in the 50s), all the snow melted, so everything is a muddy mess. It is only 33 degrees today and pretty windy, but the 15 minute walk served me well.

Lily followed me and went back and forth between being cute and playful and attacking me because I was walking instead of petting

I love the area I live in, I do not think I would want to live somewhere that the woods were not nearby. I do not spend nearly enough time in nature, but I hope that changes this year. It always helps me recenter. I am looking forward to hiking, looking for morels, fishing, sitting in the sun sipping coffee, and with any luck camping this year.

What are your favorite outdoor activities???

I would love to hear all about them.


Much Love-

You just sounded like me.
Whenever I feel lonely or fed up.I either go for a long run or go for hiking. So I can feel what kind of situation you had.
I hope now you are okey.
Have you noticed what kind of relief and satisfaction you get after that? It is the best feeling.

We used to go biking alot. But last year I didnt even touch my bike once.
In next summer we'll spend some time in the mountains and go hiking. That'll be great.
Cheers J

I believe we all need sometime to be with ourselves :)

Really looks like a different place without the snow. My favorite activity depends on the season, but definitely gonna spend more time in the nature this year myself as well. Think I'll get back to cycling, a lot more hiking and more camping. :)

Thanks for sharing - I live in the country too. Going outside is always rejuvenating.

Looks nice. Needs more photos of you!

ha! next time i will include a selfie, something tells me the kitty doesn't take good photos.

Thanks for sharing @krazykrista, i have maintained this attitude for over twenty years.

Whenever i am bored, needed a solution to a problem, have to think things through, i am committed to one thing, i go walking.

Most times, i walk really long distance and when tired, i find a place to sit then rest for a while before i continue with my journey.

It has always helped me every time i engage in this activity.

It also serves as stress relief for me

VERY NİCE PHOTO THNAKS.

my favorite outdoor activity is going for a walk with my dog. beeing with my good boy in the nature reliefs my stress which build up during my workday so its a nice compensation from the daily struggles :)i also like the feeling beeing alone in the nature so you can get 'in touch' with it :)

Frisbee but hard to find anyone to play with. need to find me a girl friend when winter is over with it. 3 feet of snow on ground bitter cold weather don't always wanna go outside

Hitbodedut (look up the term, if you are not familiar with it) :)

Works for me!

Thanks for sharing.

My favorite outdoor activies is cycling and walking. Love the outdoors, especially in the springtime.

Nature... the great equalizer!

it really did me wonders today, i was minutes away from having a good ole cry, glad i went outside instead

I'm glad too... your cat looks like a wild animal in the field!

Woooow a happy life is actually all that matters in this world, so when ever I am bored I go swimming or mountain climbing, those things really makes me happy and lastly I got a crazy love for my family, will actually do anything just to make them happy IMG_20180120_162909.jpg

Looks so different without the snow on the ground. Hopefully the leaves will grow back soon enough to pretty it up a bit.

I love climbing, hiking jogging and specially camping
I could spam you with thousands of photos but I'll just pick a random one.
Since you metioned that camping needs luck for you to happen here's a little teaser

Hiking and walking my dogs are my absolute favorite. Walks in nature do numbers for the spirit, mind and body.

Good one for you @krazykrista. That feeling that brings a wow, finally spring is here.
Well for me I am a very busy person but weekends I try to engage in cycling, sometimes I talk a walk with my siblings. We talk and joke about the week.
Am looking forward to visiting some tourist center.

maybe we are the same, I am also very happy if I was in my yard filled with green trees, because here I can still breathe fresh air every morning. the weather is still natural, it will be very fun for me.
