The Bright Side of Sunshine

 

There is a bight side to sunshine, in case you didn’t know. Sunshine is one of natures greatest gifts to our health.

Sometimes life just doesn’t make sense, though. Sometimes, even when you get your super duper, power, packed, nutritious, delicious, breakfast and your daily exercise, and even manage to drink your first 32oz bottle of water, you still feel . . . meh.

I know; I’ve been there.

Sunshine can help brighten up our mood even when our day started off sort of . . . bad.

---

There are just some days when we are off. And this happens to all of us, so there’s no judgment here.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m having an off day or two, my first thought is, “I need a trip to the beach for some fun in the sun!”

There’s always going to be that one friend who rolls their eyes, with that perfect skin, and never goes to the beach because sun is bad for your skin!

Is sunshine really bad for your skin? 

Our universe is naturally giving to those of us who want to receive its gifts, and sunlight is one amazing gift that fits into the figure eight on our journey to a balanced, healthy lifestyle!

My twins were recklessly riding bikes down a paved driveway a few years back and fell, resulting in a broken arm and a trip to the ER.

The doctor put a bright colored cast on his arm and told me to go buy some calcium gummies.

So we did. And we played in the sun, too.

You know why?

---

. . . Because just ten minutes of sunshine provides the daily allotted amount of vitamin D that we need.

---

What you may not know about vitamin D is, that it aids in calcium absorption, in fact without it our bodies will not absorb calcium.

There are many, many reasons why sunshine is essential to our happiness as well as our health and wellbeing in mind, body and soul.

I find it ironic and sad that most people in our busy world today have to take a vitamin supplement simply because they’re way too busy sitting in an office chair to get outside in the sun for at least ten minutes of the day.

A trip to the beach would be nice, but ten minutes in the sun on your break is all you need for a happier, healthier you.

As we journey together through the figure 8 of balance for a lifestyle change that fits in our daily life of crazy busy, I’m here every step of the way, helping you find your sunshine.

But . . .  I’m still up for a trip to the beach! Any takers?

Before I go, how would you like to take a look into the future? There are some awesome things coming up. Firstly, I would like to introduce you to an article I wrote called Balance8life in Motion. Here I show you how to live in balance, rotation through all 8 methods during your day for a balanced day.

I would also like to point out that this is one of my first articles, as I am a new blogger. But I have also been back around to revise, edit, fix and fluff. Here is a quick link to every blog article I have written, and will write in the future. I am sure that once my blog makes a few dollars, I will upgrade to an easier layout, but right now, this is all I got. So if you click on Blog, and scroll all the way down to the bottom, those are my very first articles. (I know, it’s a little annoying). The journey begins at the bottom and works up. I have all sorts of great beginners guides to healthy living, gym life and weight lifting, and healthy grocery shopping for newbs! Please explore, enjoy and share with your friends. Social media is the bomb diggity!
