I can work outside, here or at a coffee shop or park. Walk the dog more, go on more hikes and bike rides. I do get outside a lot. This is not a concern of mine. There are days that I stay inside all day but I love the outdoors. Plans for more backpacking are on the horizon, etc..
Set a goal to walk one mile a day for two weeks. If you need to build up to that, it’s fine! Then, add just a little distance every few days. In addition, plan some brief outdoor activities. Plant a flower pot, pull some weeds for 10 minutes, mow the yard. It all adds up!
It depends on what you like doing. If you like games, you can try some "on the go" ones like pokemons or ingress. If you like nature, challenge yourself to see/photograph something new everyday.
Go to a park, walk around look at beautiful flowers. If you work even on lunch break walk around the building. I hope this helps
I think you have to find things that you love about being outside. It can be hard when the weather isn’t cooperating or you’re feeling tired but find a target or a destination of interest - be it looking for flowers or exploring a new neighbourhood, a new hiking trail. And try to have something you enjoy doing outside every season.
Have you ever decided to watch a short TV episode, eat a snack, or scroll through your phone on a “break” from whatever you’re doing? Try forcing yourself to step outside for that same amount of time. Even if it’s just a handful of minutes, you’ll likely get a little more movement and definitely benefit from the fresh air.
For me, most of my activities happen indoors, so I have to be intentional about Spending time outside. Usually I try to take a walk outside every day for about a mile, but it doesn’t always happen. You just have to do what you can.
Open the door. Sometimes it’s as easy as that. Walk around the block. Take your pets for a walk. But just start by opening the door x
Find things that you enjoy to do. If it’s running, go for a nice run. Enjoy walking? Go for a walk. Bird watching? Swimming outdoors? Whatever it may be, just get out and do it.
I try to keep my windows open a lot, that tends to motivate me to go out. Also, having a dog makes me go outside at least 3 times a day. I keep a bag ready at all times to go down to the pool or to the beach. That way, I might have to refill a water bottle, but I only have to get on some sunblock and go.
