Outdoors

An article in today's Washington Post is titled: "New research suggests nature walks are good for your brain." Taking a walk outside decreases the degree of rumination ("a pattern of often negative, inward-directed thinking and questioning that has been tied to an increased risk of depression").

You can read the article here:

We inherently knew this.  It's always nice to have the backup of science, though.

Time to schedule a walk outside.
