  • 00:01 - 00:05

    Hey everyone, I am coming to you on behalf of the inspirational messages committee,

  • 00:05 - 00:08

    just about wellness Wednesday and getting outside.

  • 00:08 - 00:11

    So first we're going to talk about some benefits of getting outside.

  • 00:11 - 00:14

    First of all, your physical health can definitely improve. Just you.

  • 00:14 - 00:19

    Being outside is going to increase opportunities to move and be more active.

  • 00:19 - 00:23

    Your mental health can improve just by getting vitamin

  • 00:23 - 00:26

    D and boosting your serotonin levels by stepping outside,

  • 00:26 - 00:30

    getting refreshed and continuing on with your day.

  • 00:31 - 00:33

    So where do you go

  • 00:33 - 00:35

    while you're at home and you're teleworking?

  • 00:35 - 00:41

    That can be kind of a cyclical thing where you're constantly inside,

  • 00:41 - 00:42

    you're not really moving your body,

  • 00:42 - 00:44

    you might look down at your fitness tracker and you're like,

  • 00:44 - 00:46

    I've moved five steps today, I don't know what's going on.

  • 00:46 - 00:49

    I encourage you to just walk outside.

  • 00:49 - 00:53

    Um, if you're feeling like you're getting overwhelmed, take a minute or two,

  • 00:53 - 00:55

    breathe, get some sunlight on your face,

  • 00:55 - 00:57

    go back inside and continue on with what you're

  • 00:57 - 01:00

    doing and then you can take advantage of going,

  • 01:00 - 01:04

    you know, just for like a 20 minute walk around the block, we get an hour.

  • 01:04 - 01:08

    So utilize that well, because that will help you push through the rest of your day

  • 01:10 - 01:11

    and then while you're at work,

  • 01:11 - 01:14

    I really take advantage of the trails that are around here.

  • 01:14 - 01:18

    There are so many opportunities to just get your body moving.

  • 01:18 - 01:20

    Um you can go with a co worker, you can go alone.

  • 01:20 - 01:22

    If you just need a couple of minutes away from

  • 01:22 - 01:24

    your desk away from everybody else and you know,

  • 01:24 - 01:27

    there's those times where we definitely might go out to

  • 01:27 - 01:29

    our car and sit for a second just to breathe.

  • 01:29 - 01:35

    But being outside in the open, fresh air really is something that can encourage us to

  • 01:35 - 01:38

    do our jobs well for the rest of the day.

  • 01:38 - 01:41

    And one of the other things that you can do is sit outside for lunch,

  • 01:41 - 01:43

    I do that when it's nice outside,

  • 01:43 - 01:47

    it reminds you that there's an outside when you're at work and so it really

  • 01:47 - 01:50

    can also have positive effects on our mood

  • 01:50 - 01:52

    and our ability to communicate with customers.

  • 01:54 - 01:56

    And then the last thing if you're looking to be challenged,

  • 01:56 - 01:57

    say you're a little bit more competitive.

  • 01:57 - 01:59

    I am the same way.

  • 01:59 - 02:01

    Um, I know that in my unit,

  • 02:01 - 02:03

    we often will compete through our fitness apps and

  • 02:03 - 02:07

    different ones that we download and it keeps us excited

  • 02:07 - 02:10

    and encouraged it encouraged to move our bodies as well

  • 02:10 - 02:13

    as get outside with our families and then um,

  • 02:13 - 02:15

    to work on our own physical health and mental health.

  • 02:15 - 02:19

    And another thing you can do is I've been trying to do this 1000 hours

  • 02:19 - 02:22

    challenge app and I don't know if I'm gonna hit 1000 hours this year,

  • 02:22 - 02:26

    but you can see the website down here and all it does

  • 02:26 - 02:29

    is it just tracks the amount of hours that you're outside.

  • 02:29 - 02:29

    Um,

  • 02:29 - 02:32

    and so what that does is instead of spending

  • 02:32 - 02:35

    that time scrolling through social media or wasting it.

  • 02:35 - 02:40

    Um you're intentional about unplugging about going outside, about,

  • 02:40 - 02:44

    um, spending some time in nature, so there's resources available.

  • 02:44 - 02:47

    And if you see me out on the trail and you want to come walk with me,

  • 02:47 - 02:49

    feel free to have a great Wednesday.
