Being In Nature

And then there's being outdoors in nature, which is part of exercise. Why really exercise? If you're in Milwaukee in the middle of winter, that might be more difficult. But if you're in a place where you can be outside exercising, getting natural sunlight, and be in nature, this is key to feeling good about yourself. You're going to be in tune, in touch with nature, and you're going to be sleeping much better, and you're going to feel that drive. You're going to feel the dopamine come back. Our ancestors had to be in tune with nature, animals, and the environment, and they certainly didn't have the other addictions out there that drive people away and shift their dopamine. They got it through being outdoors. Our ancestors were much of the time outdoors, and they had to really hit it hard in some cases, like chasing after food.
