For the longest time I had a particularly rigid schedule that involved a yearly hiking regime.
I realized that my mental and physical health was positively affected by keeping a strict regimen of going outside and releasing my physical energy. After that discovery, I found myself carving out time to take care of my brain and body on a yearly basis, but however. I have realized that the winter time season does not agree with me. Going out in brutally freezing temperatures does not have the same beneficial effect on our brain. In fact, that freezing air makes me think I’m surviving, rather than going for a wonderful walk. Still, I don’t want to cut my routine! On afternoons that the outdoor air temperature is way too low or the wind is brutally cold, I will still go to my favorite hiking site. However, rather than trudging around in the knee high snow and bracing against the frigid air, I will just rest in my appealingly sizzling automobile for a while. I can still enjoy the sights and sounds of nature from inside our vehicle. However, I don’t have to expose myself to the unpleasant climate 3 hours on end. I can easily chill out in the parking lot and look at the gloriously snowy trees without facing the windchill and falling ice that comes with hiking. Best of all, my automobile has an amazing onboard heating method that barely requires any fuel at all, then the interior of the automobile is always perfectly sizzling and toasty, and my seat furnaces don’t hurt either. It’s sizzling air and a sizzling room, I find that my mental health and physical vitality benefit from just looking at nature, rather than walking in it.
