Get Off The Couch And Get Outside



Synopsis


If you’re plunked down on a sofa or chair right now, encircled by 4 walls and a ceiling, you’re not solo. In fact, this is the #1 anti-activity — seated disease. It’s the top reason more and more of us have no passion. Our progressively homebound, car-bound, office-bound, computer-bound life-style takes up a lot of our lives.  



Do Something Different

This isn't what our bodies or brains were built for. For the huge majority of humankind’s history, we spent our days doing outside forcible labor. Our sedentary life-style is a fresh arrival —but we’ve surely accepted it!

Convenience might be good, but lack of daily action isn’t.  Sedentary living has been associated to every major health disorder of our times: as well as lack of passion.

Get outside! Switch off the television, push the ottoman away from the couch, lace your shoes and get outdoors for at least half-hour a day, plus a couple of hours every weekend.

Sure, we understand, you don’t have to go outside to get a great workout.

But simply looking at flowers alleviates depression and sparks creativity.

There’s no research to affirm it, but it makes intuitive sense that time spent outside adds to good health, higher relaxation, more fitness, or more passion. After all, whether you’re walking, gardening, biking, or simply getting the mail, being outside inherently means becoming more active than being indoors. It’s not on any medical group’s prescribed recommendations, but we say, make ‘more time outside’ among your top passion-improvement goals.
