Day 10 of 30: NATURE DAY!

DAY 10 OF 30!

TIGHT BODY 30 DAY CHALLENGE!

Welcome to DAY 10! Today is all about getting out in nature, and being one with it. Whether you have five minutes, fifteen, a half hour, or an hour or more, please, get outside and take in the freshness of the air, the warmth of the sunshine on your skin, the earth under your feet, and perhaps, even a breeze through your hair.

Take in the sights, sounds, and smells of the great outdoors. While you're at it, you might even like to take a few pictures. I highly suggest going solo, but if your schedule or circumstances won't permit it, go with a mate, or take a group.

Many times we get so caught up in our 'To-do" list, responsibilities, and general tasks of daily living, we forget what it's like to be in nature, and relax. Nature is fascinating, from tiny insects, to the rolling clouds overhead, I'm always in awe of nature. I love watching sunsets. I feel like God paints a perfect picture every evening, and no two are alike.

If you absolutely can't get out today, perhaps you can star gaze tonight. It's usually much quieter, you can hear the insects chirping, and various background noises, but mostly the stillness of the night fills the air. See if you can remember any astrology, or make up your own.
