Today in my little town we're having an Outdoors Festival. They're having classes on how to keep a nature journal, how to fix your bike, how to catch a fish, how to put together a wilderness first aid kit and lots more.
Some outdoor stuff might not sound all that appealing to you. But try it anyway.
Camping wasn't really something I enjoyed until I decided to conquer it. I whipped it last summer and made it work for my style. For me that meant I needed things as simple as pillows, a sleeping pad, fresh fruit, pioneering activities and books to read. After I figured out my "perfect camping trip", I loved camping.
Try something new--even something that doesn't sound that appealing at first. Make it yours. Conquer it. Master it. Then enjoy being in the great outdoors.
This is a great post for me. NOT a lover of the outdoors in any form. Seems like it's always too hot, too cold, or too windy. Yes, when I do make the opportunity to go outside, especially if it's some place really pretty, I do feel energized and more peaceful. In the words of Tim Gunn, I need to "make it work"!
