Winter's Healing Adventures

We’ve had some epic snowfall in Maine this month and getting outside in the snow has been so energizing and HEALING! As I watched the snow fall on a recent snowshoe I felt incredibly grateful for nature, both the beauty of it and the simplicity of it.

I’ve also been focused on the health benefits of getting outdoors. Things like:

• Reduced stress and anxiety, our bodies tend to relax in natural environments.

• Boosted immune system through the dilution of viruses outdoors whereas indoor air has a higher concentration of viruses.

• Sunlight can help ease depressive symptoms like low mood or fatigue.

• Being exposed to sunlight can help you feel more tired at night and therefore improve your sleep quality.

Here’s a couple photos from my family’s trips outside. Let’s keep inspiring each other to soak up those awesome nature vibes.

If you’ve got a great picture of you adventuring outside, feel free to share it with us and we’ll post it. Bonus points if you’ve got some Arctic Lynx gear on!
