GetLiving March 2022 is brought to you by Cheyenne Estep (Virginia), and Gwen Weiker (Connecticut)!
INITIATIVE:
With spring right around the corner, we encourage you to Text Less and Live More by putting your cell phone down and enjoying the great outdoors. There is so much mother nature has to offer, and it can be as simple as watching sunsets or sunrises, or exercising outdoors by hiking, biking, or running.
Take this time to try new things you may not do every day – like camping or planning a picnic. If you are involved in club organizations such as SADD, 4-H, Sources of Strength, National Honors Society, or Family Career Community Leaders of America, take this opportunity to do a service project outside.
Enjoying mother nature is not only amazing, but also rewarding, as it gives you an opportunity to relax and take care of your mental health.
Try to take a break from the stressors of school, social media, or anything else that may be concerning during Mother Nature March.
ACTION:
Spending time outdoors is proven to improve mental health, along with promoting less use of your phone and social media (except for maybe one or
two #ForestBathing Instagram pictures).
To get outside this spring, participate in our March Miles challenge! All miles that you hike, bike, walk, or run count! Compete with your friends or family to see how many miles you can rack up during March while the weather is warming up. Challenge yourself to make one goal to try to find a new outdoor location to enjoy. Keep track of your March Miles and share them with us over Instagram or email! Plus, check out the Mother Nature March panel we did on our Instagram!
