A day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day. - Winnie the Pooh
This week on our Instagram stories we conducted a survey. 75% of respondents said they spend less than 1 hour outside every day. With so many distractions and tasks vying for our attention, especially inside the house, many of us don’t get outside enough. I understand, it's hard especially in the winter!
I don’t make new years resolutions. My track record has convinced me resolutions are pointless because I never stick to them. However, 2022 is different.
You see, two weeks into the new year I found something my family could achieve when I stumbled upon 1,000 hours outside. It is a movement to encourage people of all ages to spend 1,000 hours outside in a year.
Nope, that's not a typo. The resolution is to spend 1,000 hours outside.
At first glance, it looks like a lot but did you know that studies have shown children can spend as much as 6+ hours a day on technology? When you do the math, that's more than 1,000 hours a year using technology! So, you quickly realize 1,000 hours outside is achievable … one day at a time.
