This year, for the first time ever, I tried gardening. For the first time since covid began, I felt like my old self. I didn’t think gardening would be such a workout but being out in the sun, hauling all of those bags of dirt, and getting the earth ready to plant really got my heart pumping! Physical activity really does have a huge effect on our mental health!
