Spending Time in Nature Boosts Your Mood and Gives a Sense of Peace. 

I am lucky. I live in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. My town has parks to walk in and lakes to fish in. I can go to one whenever I want. It does me good to go out and turn my mind from worrying about things to enjoying a little nature. Taking a little time to replenish and restore sanity into my hectic life significantly affects my mental and physical health. 

Enjoy something you like from time to time. A 15-minute walk could clear your head and help make the rest of the day go better. A weekend away every few months could help keep you fit for what happens in the next quarter of the work year. 

It doesn’t have to be extravagant. Simple things work wonders on the mind and the body. If you do not take the time to care for yourself, who will?

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
