How do the Outdoors make YOU feel?

After busy work trips I always find myself coming home and wanting to connect with the outdoors. It forces me to slow down and be present which can be challenging in the fast past world we live in. Whether hiking, running, biking or going for a walk I crave the fresh air and beauty that surrounds us. It has a calming factor and puts life into perspective. I always wondered if others felt this way so I took to the internet in search of other like minded, outdoor females.
