Need a break during the day? Get up, head out and do something outdoors. Fresh air never hurt anyone. It’s guaranteed to give you an energy boost.

Play ball with a friend, go on a bike ride, or simply sit at the park bench while eating an ice cream cone.

Take a walk to the nearest food truck during your lunch break instead of eating at your desk.

Want to curl up and read a good book? You can do that sitting on your comfy patio lounge chair. Who knows, a butterfly or two might even flutter by.

Walk in the rain and listen to the “pitter patter” sound it makes on your umbrella. Put on your boots, find the closest rain puddle and stomp away.

Whatever you do, whether it’s a sunny or gloomy day, remind yourself to come out and play.
