Historically, I was someone who could not understand the benefits of being outdoors. <\/b>If you told my father 20 years ago that at 31 I\u2019d consider myself an outdoorsy person, he would have laughed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was very much an indoor-kid. I watched television, played video games, and read for entire days. If I went outside, I thought it was a punishment. I didn\u2019t love the beach, I didn\u2019t love the outdoors, and I didn\u2019t love being active.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, if I go more than a day without a long walk outside, a week without a hike or park visit, or a month without seeing a mountain, I feel depleted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>How is it that I, the indoorsy of all indoors kids, became an \u201coutdoor\u201d person?<\/em> Probably 500 ways, but here are 5 easy changes I made to become more outdoorsy. You can do them too. Then you can appreciate the benefits of being outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#1: Separated the idea of being outdoors from bugs.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main reasons I never wandered outside much starting in adolescence had to do with bugs<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a child, I remember a spider jumping on my face when I smelled a rose. I remember centipedes in the spring showing up in the living room. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 years ago, that\u2019s what I equated to the outdoors: Bugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I noticed bugs more indoors than when outdoors, <\/b>and that changed everything. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I&#8217;m able to receive the benefits of being outdoors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Truly, how often do you notice a spider on the sidewalk next to you? Not often, right? <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t you always see them when they are in the corner of the bedroom?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also learned and finally understood that they did not give a fuck about me. Will I touch them? FUCK NO. But do I completely hate the outdoors because of them? No.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More often than not, when I go hiking, or take my dog for a long walk, or take my bike out,<\/span><b> I don\u2019t notice a single bug<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Seriously, bugs exist EVERYWHERE, but you kinda don\u2019t notice them as much outside.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2: Started doing INDOOR habits OUTDOORS.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I lived in a small studio when I was 24. I loved this studio, it was AMAZING. That being said, sometimes it felt stifled as hell. That led to me<\/span><b> taking a book to a park <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nearby and reading. Then, I started to get bored in my studio while listening to podcasts, so I\u2019d go on a<\/span><b> nature walk while listening. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later, I moved home for a bit, and sometimes I just needed to get out, so I would go for a drive through a local forested area, and I\u2019d listen to music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, I live in a very modern mid-rise apartment, and I prefer to read outside rather than stay on the couch.. I love to take a notebook to the benches nearby and write. If I go 3 hours without walking around my block with headphones in while listening to an audiobook, I FEEL IMPRISONED.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few times, I\u2019ve been brave enough to do yoga outside. It just feels better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3: Benefited from being outdoors in the Garden.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everyone has a yard. I, currently, do not have a yard. I have a lot of planters filled with ferns, NOW, but I used to have a yard, and I chose to garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I actually loved gardening. I bought tools that were longer than normal so that I didn\u2019t have to sit in the dirt (this had to do with bugs), and I planned my gardening time to be all day so that I could run inside and scream about a bug (<\/span><b>#1 point doesn\u2019t work if you are digging, then you are coming into their home, and the bugs will come for you<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, I started to plant tomatoes and peppers, I planted Pumpkins and they took over everything. They grew faster than I could eat them, but I felt so proud when I\u2019d come home from work and have fresh basil for dinner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-189 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Growing-a-pumpkin.png?resize=225%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Forest Park Pumpkin\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Growing-a-pumpkin.png?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/regularlywe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Growing-a-pumpkin.png?w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wasn\u2019t homesteading, but I could make myself salsa from my garden, sit with my dog on my porch, and I could read a book while watching the sunset. I felt like an Italian princess\u2026 in my very cheap, crooked house.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4: Found out that \u201ceasy\u201d hiking trails exist.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want everyone to take out their smartphones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the app store.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/\"><b>All Trails<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not an ad, this is just me honestly saying that this app saves lives. In a story I will tell some other day in outdoorsy fails, this app would have saved my life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can search ANY trail nearby, you can search by elevation, length, the shape of the trail, ease, dog walking, whether there are horses, etc. You can say, hey I am in X city, I want to find out where the nearest 5-mile hike with waterfalls and flowers which allows bikes is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>BAM All Trails got your back.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My partner and I use this to find new ways to walk through <\/span><b>Forest Park in Portland.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We use it when we travel to find beautiful hikes.

I did them as I was planning to move here as well as when visits occurred just to help get to know my city.
