5 Ways to Go Screen-Free Outside

Enjoying a cup of coffee is part of a very common morning routine. Step out of the norm and take your morning coffee outside to get an extra 5 minutes of nature in your day. Spending time outside has incredible benefits for your well-being and adding your favorite cup o’ joe can make for the perfect pairing to help you get on track to start your day! 

We often turn to our devices when we are feeling restless. Whether it be hanging up lights across the patio, planting that herb garden you’ve always wanted or touching up your patio furniture, there are always opportunities to beautify your outdoor living space and create an area you will want to visit even more often! 

Change things up for your family by moving standard daily activities outside. For example, move dinner to the backyard and enjoy a picnic they will be sure to love. You can make the everyday activity even more special by adding a theme. From costumes to recipes, let your creativity run wild for your family picnic. 

Have your kids been laying around indoors all day? Instead of wasting the sunshine, host a game day right on your lawn to get the family outside! This gives the kids a chance to burn off some energy while soaking in the health benefits of being outside. Some grass-friendly ideas include: 

• Playing catch 
• Cornhole 
• Scavenger hunts 

The next time you want to enjoy your outdoor living space with your family, try leaving the technology inside. With all of these alternatives, it is easy to give yourself a much-needed screen break. Your well-being will thank you for it.
