Of course we need lots of distancing and mask-wearing, and we know that the biggest deterrent for COVID-19 is simply to stay home if we can. No unnecessary trips outside, but being inside can create a pressure-cooker for our relationships; resentments can build.
Fresh air can be an asset!
“If you are in a bad mood go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood go for another walk.” ― Hippocrates
Some of us may be lucky enough to live near fields or forests, mountains, oceans or lakes, but most of us live in cities. Fortunately, many of us have a park nearby. We can go there, or at least find a wider, quieter street if possible.
Think Vitamin D and negative ions, which lift our moods, clear our minds, and help us maintain a positive outlook.
Activity shakes loose our pent-up feelings, so that we can release them and be able to see our relationships in a warmer light.
