From Earth to Energy: Why Being Outdoors Makes Me Healthier, Happier, and More Human

My go-to "happy place"? The outdoors. I need lots of room, water, and lots of sunshine to grow. Basically... I’m a plant. Maybe even a weed.

I am happiest outside.

When I’m indoors too long, I feel suffocated. I get antsy. My mind races with all the things I should be doing. I start to feel fragile—like a houseplant wilting on a windowsill. But when I step outside, something shifts. I breathe better. I feel stronger (even if all I’m doing is walking). I feel connected to something bigger than my to-do list. And most importantly—I feel at peace.

But why is that?

I wasn’t raised by wolves. I’ve never had to forage for berries or track a deer through the woods. So why does the earth feel like home?

It turns out, the answer lies in both our biology and our brain chemistry. We were built to be outside, and sadly, we don’t spend nearly as much time outdoors as we should. According to the EPA, Americans spend 90% of their time indoors—in buildings, cars, and staring at screens. And after the pandemic? That number hasn’t gone back down. In fact, we now spend 51 fewer minutes outside per day than we did before 2020.

No wonder we feel drained, anxious, and disconnected.
