Why outdoor activities?

 

With so many outdoor activities to choose from, it’s easy to find something for your next hobby or vacation. Consider hiking the park, playing sports with friends, or enjoying a walk in the sun.

 

Regular exercise reduces the risk for several chronic diseases. Exercise can help improve your self-esteem and lower your stress levels. Spending time outdoors is an excellent way to nurture and protect the planet we live on and enjoy life. Plus, you’ll get fit, too! If you haven’t appreciated outdoor activities as much as you thought you should, now is the time to start!

 

Hiking

 

Hiking is one of the best ways to discover new places, exercise, and meet new people. Hiking is an excellent way to get outside, experience nature, and get rejuvenated. It also makes for a great summer activity. Hiking is most enjoyable when carrying nothing but your imagination. So don't worry about packing heavy. Hiking causes you to test limits and push yourself to the limit.

 

Hiking offers a mind-expanding view of nature, a workout like no other. When hiking, you get to see gorgeous views. Hiking is an accessible, enjoyable, and affordable form of exercise available. Hiking builds strength, endurance while burning fat.

 

Off-road driving

 

Whether you drive cars, motorcycles, or dirt bikes, off-road driving is a blast. The activity offers more than moving on roads.

 

Think outside the box when planning your next adventure. Going on a road trip with friends or family is great fun and an essential part of the hobby. Challenge yourself with hills’ climbs, and descents.

 

Museums and parks

 

Take advantage of free admission days or special events at historic sites and parks. See, hear, smell and touch an array of art. Spending time outdoors will increase your sense of empathy and better brain function. Historical places are always interesting and fun places to visit.

 

Visit a park. If I had to select a favorite place to go outdoors, it would be the national forests and parks. A walk through a national park or a museum can be a wonderful experience. It is also an exciting opportunity to get away from everyday life. You also get to spend time with people who share your interests.

 

Beaches

 

I have a particular fondness for the sea and beaches. I met my first serious crush by the shores of Mombasa. When at the coast, enjoy the beauty of the beaches, the food, and the friendliness of the locals. You can go boating, surfing, walking the boardwalk, and exploring the shoreline. Whether you decide to spend your time on the water or on the shore, make sure you bring your bathing suit.

 

Being by the sea is as relaxing as taking a beautiful shower under a starscape. Delight in the splendor of nature as you indulge in the variety of coastal dishes. Make friends with the local fishermen, and learn a few ropes. Try catching some fish as well.

 

Bungee jumping

 

Bungee jumping is one of the world’s fastest-growing extreme sports. It involves jumping out of an airplane or a tower and often involves extreme heights. Bungee jumping is a unique and exhilarating experience. Jumping heights depend on how far you can jump without any tumbling or losing control. It’s best to find someone who can assist you with these procedures.

 

Have you ever wanted to experience something extraordinary? Bungee jumping is one of those experiences. It is both and challenging, and though it looks easy from the pictures. The height and location should complement your qualities and your abilities.

 

Sky diving

 

Sky diving allows you to blow off steam and unwind.  It allows you to learn new skills, be fearless, test your extremes, and have the experience of a lifetime. It requires an incredible amount of coordination and agility on your part.

 

Sky diving is one of the best ways to get outside and experience fresh air. It's challenging but also rewarding. Sky diving is the most breathtaking and thrilling form of outdoor activity. Being in the air is fun! It’s also an exciting, albeit nerve-wracking, experience. Once you’ve mastered the basic skills, it becomes a blast! It's also an excellent exercise for your entire body, particularly the core.

 

Camping

 

Did you ever want to try something new while at the same time remaining within your budget? Going on an overnight safari is a wondrous experience. Camping leaves an impression and is a great way to create memories.

 

Going on a camping trip with your friends can be an exciting way to bond with fresh air and a sense of adventure. A getaway gives you the chance to meet new people. You will also experience different adventures. You will also be giving your body a rest from the stresses of daily life.

 

Campfires

 

If you’re like me, the thought of sitting around a campfire with friends is exhilarating. There’s something spiritual about it, even though it’s only on a small scale. An experience is never complete without campfire stories. Stories are better with fireplaces. The stars can shine when you light a fire and get ready to enjoy the outdoors.

 

Gathering around the campfire will make the experience worth every hour spent outdoors. Sparks fly when people gather around a campfire to cook up some dinner. Campfires are a favorite activity for many people. Be it, a family reunion, or a group hike,; making campfires and watching colors come out is always fun.


Try out an adventure

 

A new adventure may lead to having a new perspective on your life. It may provide new insights, new ideas, and new experiences to grow as a person. Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you go on alone. The goal is to have fun regardless of whether other people are around or not.

Lost In the Sea of Life

Life can really screw you. Or it might turn out like a Disney story.  I met Kev along the streets of Nairobi a few weeks back. He still had his wide grin and bubbly personality that could keep a whole village warm during a winter night. Kev is a kind-hearted human being, generous and an agreeable fellow to a fault. He also had such great footballing skills, I always envisaged him playing for the great Manchester United. He actually had a stint playing for a local Premier league, albeit on a trial basis. As he had no money to bribe some connected individuals, his spot was taken by a lesser talent who sadly had more well-oiled hands than him. So up in flames, went his footballing dream. While he still looked for his 40 years, his eyes looked hollow and haunted. He had the look of a war veteran, like a person who had seen too much suffering, death and had had his soul wrung dry. I was excited to reconnect with by childhood friend and I had some time to idle away, I suggested we find a nic

How Processing Your Traumas Can Help Improve Your Life

We have lots of marriage counselors and relationship gurus, yet we seem to be having more screwed-up relationships than ever. Why is that? Of course, the digital age hasn't made things any better. Technology has allowed sharing shitty tales of how men or women are bad. Sadly, most of us are driven by our fears, thus pushing people away or disqualifying ourselves from great opportunities. Understanding and processing your traumas can help you navigate life better, have more meaningful relationships, and realize your true potential. What are Unresolved Traumas? All of us have traumas in our life. It's part of being human. You could be traumatized by an accident, a natural disaster, or anything really bad that happened to you.
