This 12 months, studying about friluftsliv—a Nordic idea that includes embracing nature, irrespective of the season or climate—has helped me sustain with my outside exploration. Friluftsliv will not be mountain climbing up a mountain for clout. It is strolling round your native park, noticing the chook sounds and the swaying of dried leaves left on barren bushes. It is listening to the crunch of snow beneath your boot and discovering pleasure within the sharp, chilly air. It is a means of incorporating nature into your on a regular basis life. I discover that considered by a extra charitable lens, the gloomy grey gentle of winter turns into mushy and the slushy sidewalks turn into charmingly squishy.
