This year has had us staying home a whole lot more than ever before. But now that we all have time off for the winter break, it is easier to fit in some outdoor adventures. Here are six of my family’s favourite ways to get outside during the holidays.
Living on the south coast of BC, we are blessed with mild winter weather while still being close enough to the local mountains when we need a dose of snow. There’s no shortage of outdoor activities here, no matter what season it is.
Since I work from home, I know how easy it is to get caught up with work and chores then never get outside. And during the holidays, it is so tempting to stay in your jammies and watch another episode of the latest Netflix show. I also know that going outside gives my energy and mood a boost. There is something about being outdoors that makes me feel refreshed and reset for the next “thing” on my to-do list.
I find that wearing an activity watch to count my steps each day is a good motivator and reminder to keep moving. (I just got the Garmin Vivoactive 4s and I love it!) From experience, I can say that almost all of these activities will help you get your steps in each day.
Since we can’t get together as usual this holiday season, meeting friends (from a distance) outdoors is a great “excuse” to get up and get moving together. The added accountability that comes from making plans makes it even harder to break those promises to get outside.
You never know, perhaps you will start a new tradition as you get up and get outside during the holidays this year.
