As the days grow longer and the weather warms up, there’s no better time to reconnect with nature. At Atlantic Packaging, we’re excited to announce the return of our Get Outside Nature Challenge, running from April 1st to April 30th. This initiative is designed to encourage everyone to spend more time outdoors and experience the wonderful numerous benefits that nature has to offer. We encourage you play along with us!
The Healing Power of Nature
Spending time in nature is more than just a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Research has shown that just 20 minutes a day outside can have profound impacts on our health and well-being. Here are some of the benefits you can expect:
- Reduced Stress: Nature has a calming effect that can help lower stress levels and improve overall mood.
- Improved Mood: Exposure to natural environments can enhance your mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
- Enhanced Creativity: Time spent outdoors can inspire creativity and improve problem-solving skills.
- Lower Blood Pressure: Regular exposure to nature can help reduce blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease.
- Better Immune Health: Being in nature can boost your immune system, making you more resilient to illnesses.
Join the Fun
For the month of April, we are challenging our employees to spend at least 20 minutes outside each day. This would be a great time for you to set your intentions with spending time outside, too! Whether it’s a walk in the park, a hike in the woods, or simply enjoying your backyard, every minute counts. The goal is to accumulate a total of 600 minutes of outdoor time by the end of the month.
Nature Bingo
To make the challenge even more engaging, we added a fun Nature Bingo game as a way to to explore new activities and stay motivated throughout the challenge. Check out our Nature Bingo card here and join the fun!
Our Commitment to Well-being and Sustainability
The Get Outside Nature Challenge is part of our broader commitment to well-being and sustainability. By encouraging more time spent in nature, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation for the environment and promote healthier lifestyles.
We invite everyone to join us in this challenge and make a conscious effort to spend more time in nature. Share your experiences and inspire others by posting pictures and stories of your outdoor adventures. Let’s come together to embrace the healing power of nature and make this April a month of outdoor exploration and well-being.
