Everyday Outdoor lifestyles are not about crazy adventures, extreme clothing and long away adventures.

They are about making it a point to get outdoors everyday in whatever way that looks like for you.

It can be a morning walk, coffee on the deck or just some simple grounding.

Just as those who discovered this country looked out over the open waters and looked for new horizons I to use the outdoors to find new horizons.

For those that were here and those that came they found beauty, grace and peace in the many wonders of America and I to like to explore the amazing wonders of this country.

What if this trip was the trip that changed your life.

I know people play the what if game a lot in the negative direction and a lot of moms do this when it comes to camping.

What if we wreck on the way? What if my kid falls down and I am too far from the nearest hospital? What if we forget food? What if we forget Johnny’s medicine? What if it rains the whole time?

I could keep going on and on and on about all the “what ifs” that could happen while spending time in the outdoors. The real question you should be asking yourself is what if this is the trip that changes the direction of our family?

What if just taking a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood every night with your partner is what reconnects the two of you and builds a stronger foundation for your marriage?

What if this hike is the one where you decide to jog a bit and become a ultimate trail runner competing in races and inspiring millions?

What if this is the trip where your child falls in love with nature and works the rest of their lives with the purpose of saving the earth?

What if your family has such a great adventure that your kids live on to create those same adventures with their kids?

I never look at the “what if” in a negative way, I choose to look at the what if as something positive.

What if this was the trip that changed everything for you?

There is a law of ecology that says everything is connected to everything else.

This explains how ecosystems are connected to one another. Whether you believe it or not we are part of the ecosystem, we do not sit above it as some would claim.

We are connected to everything in the outdoors which is why so many people find peace, calm, focus and connection when they spend time outdoors.

It’s why so many use the outdoors as an escape from reality, really what they are searching for is a connection back to themselves when life pulls them off track.

As humans we, more times than not, feel our most connected when we are outside. We are connected to our source, to ourselves and to the ecosystem that we all exist in.

Being outdoors is not just about breathing fresh air or taking in a gorgeous sunset, it’s about creating that connection back to ourselves.

The key then is to take that experience and live as your true self everyday after.

I didn't think my story mattered........

And in all reality it may not truly matter but I feel like the entire world is based on stories.

Stories we tell each other, stories we bring to life and stories we use as lessons to be better people.

So whether my story matters or not is only in my head. If this story helps one woman live better then that makes it matter.

In 2020, 53 percent of Americans ages 6 and over participated in outdoor recreation at least once, the highest participation rate on record.

Remarkably, 7.1 million more Americans participated in outdoor recreation in 2020 than in the year prior.

This is great news....

But

Have you continued the outdoor lifestyle?

With more and more people online for hours everyday it is imperative that we get outdoors more.

Everyday People Outdoors is helping you create those outdoor experiences that are easy, fun and feed the soul.

By definition, humans are drawn to nature and natural things.

Nature stimulates the parasympathetic system and lowers stress.

Studies have shown that walks outside, being around trees and nature in general lower stress levels.

Studies also show that employees are more productive, hospital stays are shorter, and patients use less medication when biophilic design is used.

The Four Laws of Ecology.....

The first of these informal laws, Everything is connected to everything else, indicates how ecosystems are complex and interconnected.

The second law of ecology, Everything must go somewhere, restates a basic law of thermodynamics: in nature, there is no final waste, matter and energy are preserved, and the waste produced in one ecological process is recycled in another.

Nature knows best, the third informal law of ecology, Commoner writes, “holds that any major man-made change in a natural system is likely to be detrimental to that system.”

There is no such thing as a free lunch. The fourth informal law of ecology expresses that the exploitation of nature always carries an ecological cost.

Nature is truly the balance for us, we need it, our bodies crave it and without it we will fall out of balance with our self and with the entire ecosystem.

If you feel off these days try getting out into nature!

Have you entered our giveaway yet?

18% of adults and children get outside at least once per week. Only 18%?

That is dangerously LOW.

We need the outdoors and we need to be outdoors multiple times per week.

Only being outdoors one time per week is not enough.

When is the last time you were outdoors multiple days in a week and I don’t mean just walking to your car after work?

When was the last time you took four evening walks in one week?

When was the last time you and your family played outside multiple evenings in a row?

Yes that is the biggest secret to the outdoors, it is for everyone.

It doesn’t matter your color, creed, gender or whatever else the outdoors is the only place that every human on this planet needs and should make time for on a regular basis.

If you are worried about whether you fit in with the outdoors I am here to tell you the only reason you are thinking that is because somewhere deep down inside of you, you are craving the outdoors, so just go!

Get outdoors!

Go for a walk, drink your coffee on the deck, take in some fresh air, feed your body with the outdoor life it is craving.

It doesn’t have to be hard, you just have to do it.

Just close your eyes for one second.

Close them tight and think about your happy place. That place you love to go to escape, relax and find peace.

Is that place somewhere outdoors or has an outdoor component to it?

I bet with 99% certainly for most of you it does.

For most people when you ask them to close their eyes and go to their happy place they envision an outdoor paradise or even an indoor cabana where you are being massaged but have the doors open and the warm ocean breeze is blowing in.

If you always go to an outdoor space when you imagine your happy place why are you not creating that space for yourself right now.

It is simple to create a backyard oasis, it’s easy to make arrangements for that masseuse to come to your house in your beautifully landscaped yard and give you a massage.

It’s easy to do this but yet so few actually create their happy place.

It’s not too late, create that happy place for yourself.

I know it's kind of ironic that you are reading this on a digital platform and I am asking how you shut off the noise but just hear me out on this.

I don’t care who you are, your biological makeup is not meant to live behind a screen.

You are not meant to just live and die with nothing significant in between. You are meant for more, you are meant to create your own noise in this world.

You can’t do that if you are constantly watching someone else’s noise all the time.

It’s not enough anymore to just put your phone down only to pick it up an hour later, it’s not enough anymore to only have one hour a day where you are not looking at a screen, it’s not enough anymore to spend all you time indoors.

You will not survive the evolution that is coming. You are going to have to find ways to turn off the noise completely, find your way to the outdoors and create your own noise that is much louder than any outside voices.

You can’t do this when you are listening to others.

You must get outdoors and start listening to yourself.

This is any time I work outside my house

This is everything I carry

In one bag

With my ready

Ladies we need to be protected, we need to run our companies and we need our healthy food.

Jessica lives for the outdoors but not in the way where she lives in a van down by the river.

Jessica runs multiple businesses, is a wife, a cat mom and still maintains an mentality.

She learned after a hospital stint in 2013 that she couldn’t continue to run as fast as she was without having a balance in nature.

It’s her mission with Everyday People Outdoors to give others the amazing experience of an everyday outdoor lifestyle and bring useful everyday items to you.

It’s important that we all get out of the meta verse and into the universe, for us to remain humans who find our purpose, strength and passions in the outdoors.

For ourselves, our businesses and our families!

What about a cool breeze through your hair?

It's National Fishing and Boating Week!

The U.S. is blessed with countless lakes and rivers. These water sources allow locals to enjoy recreational activities like boating and fishing. Each year, hundreds of Americans indulge in these fun water activities. Apart from being a great form of outdoor activity, fishing and boating have a key role in building the nation’s economy.

The fishing and boating industry in the U.S. provides hundreds of jobs to the locals and generates a great amount of revenue, which is used by the government to save the sea animals and their habitats.

Even before the government made it a national week in 2002, National Fishing and Boating Week was still celebrated as an unofficial fishing and boating holiday among the locals.

National Get Outdoors Day is tomorrow!

In an era of social media mania, forests around the country are opening their doors to reacquaint kids and parents with good old fashion family fun—without the aid of modern technology.

On Saturday, June 11, the U.S. Forest Service invites families to join thousands of forest explorers for a free, fun-packed day of outdoor adventures in celebration of National Get Outdoors Day.

The event also known as “GO Day” is celebrating its ninth anniversary of inspiring national and local organizations to come together to promote the social, economic and environmental benefits of outdoor recreation. Dozens of events on national forests and grasslands will feature opportunities including camping, rock wall climbing, kayaking, biking and archery.

Nationwide, more than 100 locations will provide free recreational and educational activities. Some events are specifically designed to better engage urban and multicultural youth in nature-based activities and attract first-time visitors to public lands.

In the spirit of GO Day, fees are waived generally for day-use areas, such as picnic grounds, developed trailheads and destination visitor centers. Concessionaire-operated sites may be included in the waiver if the permit holder wishes to participate. Contact your local national forest or grassland to learn if your destination requires a fee or if that fee is waived.

National forests provide tremendous settings for spending a day or two in the great outdoors. These public lands provide more than 158,000 miles of recreational trails, wild and scenic rivers, lakes and streams, thousands of campgrounds and day-use sites, and educational opportunities at Forest Service visitor centers. These lands also add more than $13 billion in benefits to local economies.

The remaining fee-free days for 2016 include National Public Lands Day (Sept. 24) and Veterans Day weekend (Nov. 11-13).

Get outdoors this Saturday!

June is Great Outdoors Month! a month-long celebration of the outdoors encouraging everyone to embrace the outdoor spirit and head outside!

It's Us vs. The Metaverse...

We could care less what your views of technology are or bitcoin, automation, meta verse, etc.

We don’t care!

What we do care about though is the fact that the more we move into these worlds the less we are feeding our human body with what it actually wants.

As humans we crave connection whether that be with ourselves, with others or with the universe in general.

You don’t get these true connections from the metaverse, I don’t care what you say.

You can have all these followers and friends online but do you really feel connected or are you still holed up in your apartment somewhere feeling alone and unsatisfied because you got nothing from the 20 DM’s you just answered.

There is no substance in the meta verse but there is substance in the universe.

We need the universe, we need to physically be outdoors.

It is a biological thing for all of us.

Put the metaverse down and get into the universe, trust me you are missing more in your life by not interacting with the universe than you are in the meta verse.
