Do you have a favourite childhood outdoor activity that you can remember doing? It doesn't have to be the intricate carving with your granddad's penknife but equally that's great too! - Mine? being outdoors during the summer holidays, the freshly cut grass smell, my friends chapping on my door to see if I was 'coming oot to play' and then us all racing from the top of the council estate to the bottom, jumping fences and trying not to get caught! Great fun, even funnier if a friend was caught and being given a row 😅 Good times Anyone else want to reminisce 😁 Kids these days just won't have the same memories!

What's the one outdoor skill that you could do with brushing up on that you keep putting off?

🤔 A simple method used outdoors to clear your head, boost energy, and feel back in control. Most people think they need hours outside or the perfect weather or gear, but we really don't. They need structure. ⚠️ The mistake most people make: They go outdoors… but stay mentally indoors. This means phone in hand, distracted, thoughts racing, we can all be a little guilty of this from time to time. 🧭 The 3x3 Reset 1️⃣ Move for 3 minutes - No overthinking. Just move your body. - Walk with purpose - Climb something small - Carry a log, a bag, anything with weight 💡 Goal: Change your physiology first. Your brain follows your body. 2️⃣ Notice 3 things Pause. Slow it down. - 1 thing you can hear - 1 thing you can see - 1 thing you can feel 💡 This pulls you out of your head and into the present. (Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now is a great book on this) 3️⃣ Breathe for 3 cycles 👃🏼In through the nose. Slow out. In for 4 • • • • Out for 6 • • • • • • 💡 Longer exhales = nervous system starts to recalibrate. 🔁 Repeat x3 rounds That’s it. 🔥 Why does this work: + Movement burns off stress hormones + Awareness grounds you + Breathing helps regulate your nervous system 👣 Your challenge: Try this once today. Even if it’s just outside your front door. Drop the outcome in the comments 👇🏼

I just wanted to personally thank you all, from the bottom of my heart for being here, engaging and helping others and myself to learn and grow.
