How do you greet the new day, indoors or out? If you’re like many people, your day starts with a routine that doesn’t include any time in fresh air.

One of the easiest ways to lift your spirits and your mood is to get outside for 10 minutes. Yep, this is an evidence-based mood-raising tool: just 10 minutes of outside time will trigger release of endorphins and dopamine while lowering cortisol levels.

Even if you’re not interested in going for a walk or run, could you sit on a patio, deck, or sun porch while you drink your first cup of coffee, tea, or water? Listen to the sounds of birds, or maybe the breeze through the leaves. See how many different shades of green there are, how many different surface textures you see on plants, the ground, and the buildings around you.

Enjoy giving yourself permission to just be outside for ten minutes to start each day, and watch how it shifts your spirits for the rest of your day.
