I take my grandpa who has dementia, my son, and my sister out to feed the ducks at a nature park. We love the energy of the park and it makes us feel alive, rejuvenated, and all those positive feelings. Get out there in nature! It is natural medicine for your health and well being!

It isn’t even outdoors really. Some of the best time I spent in my life was at the real big quad races, like Loretta Lynn’s, or Ironman. We’d all pile into Jason’s crewcab pickup, setup a campsite, party all night, and hike through the woods watching quads in the daytime. It was muddy, the races were hard, and it was fun as all hell.

As a therapist, and a veteran, I can tell that finding positive activities to engage yourself in is crucial in keeping depression at bay. I remember when I got into counseling asking my grandfather if he noticed people having depression when he grew up. He said that they were too busy putting food on the table and wood in the stove to be depressed. He said they worked six days a week and often a half day on Sunday’s. He also told me that everyone was poor so you never knew you were poor or wished that had what your neighbor had. Sadly it seems that a society with more leisure seems to generate more depression as that leisure time is spent on unfulfilling things. Men, find something worth doing and do it!

At least once a week I take a long trip to the woods. My family’s home where I grew up backed up against a park and I spent just about every waking moment outside while I was growing up. I think it’s definitely stuck with me into my mid/late 20′s. Whenever I want to take a break, I head to a local park which happens to encompass a couple hundred acres of paths for jogging, hiking or whatever. I always come back refreshed and ready to take on the world again.

I also highly recommend mountain biking, which is different than dirtbiking, yes.

What a perfectly timed article! It finally stopped raining and being miserable outside in NJ and i am just itching to get outside. Sadly for most of today i am stuck inside working on a term paper, but at least the windows let me see outside.
I’ll definitely be eating lunch outside today.

So true. When I need to get back to my manliness, I like to take a camping trip.

Ummm…I can almost smell the fresh air coming out of this web page.

What better way to chill out than to get outside away from the TV and PC and just wonder at the beauty of nature.

Like a famous poet once said…

What is life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare.

Message to me. Get off the PC more.
