"I didn't realize how much I have missed the sun and the birds. Today it was like I felt my being sitting outside in my gardens.I have always loved outside.I never get tired of it and when I am there I feel connected to my source. I have disliked the word accountability because of it being misused but I do better with accountabilty on these type of challenges and for myself I am thankful for it. It has made me stay focused on what is most important in life."

 "...The challenge that has affected me the most, is getting more sunshine. It is healing. Today, as I sat on my back porch soaking up the sunshine and meditating, I immersed myself in the sounds and smells of the forest, as well as the feel of the gentle breezes on my skin. After an hour of that, I felt energized and peaceful at the same time.....Love it!"

#YearOfLivingYourBestLife

Now that we've completed the first month of the ‪#‎YOLYBL‬ challenges at Metron...

"I believe I have made it clear that I am a proponent of this project. I see the challenges as forms of self-care. I already exercise and drink enough water. You got me with going out in the sun. It is far too easy to stay inside and read. Yesterday the sun was shining through a thin veil of clouds with a light rain coming down. It was magical. Thank you for the inspiration and motivation. I look forward to what might be next. There is also a unity and accountability factor knowing there are others working toward the same goals."

#YearOfLivingYourBestLife Challenge: WEEK #5

Our ‪#‎METRON‬ challenge this week is to get at least 20 minutes of uninterrupted exposure to natural sunlight every day...we hear a lot these days about the obvious dangers of too much exposure to the sun from dermatologists, but there are also many benefits to our physical and emotional health from sunlight...sunlight can aid in sending cancer into remission...the sun's light kills bad bacteria...sunlight has a beneficial effect on skin disorders, such as psoriasis, acne, eczema and fungal infections of the skin...sunlight lowers cholesterol..the sun's rays lower blood pressure...sunlight penetrates deep into the skin to cleanse the blood and blood vessels...sunlight increases oxygen content in human blood, and it also enhances the body's capacity to deliver oxygen to the tissues (very similar to the effects of exercise)...the sun has a great effect on stamina, fitness and muscular development..sunlight builds the immune system..the white blood cells, which increase with sun exposure, are called lymphocytes, and these play a major role in defending the body against infections...regular sunlight exposure increases the growth and height of children, especially babies...studies have shown the amount of sun exposure in the first few months has an effect on how tall the person grows...and sunlight can cure, or at least minimize depression...

I know that many of you who live where it's snowing right now are participating in the challenges, and here in the ATL area it's supposed to rain this week, so it's going to require some creativity to meet this one...some days you may just have to sit inside by a window and get as much sunlight as you can...but the optimum is to get yourself outdoors and make some significant contact with the sun...and even on grey and cloudy days, the sun is still shining through the clouds, so it's not impossible to do this...

Take a pic of yourself soaking up some rays this week, or take one like this awesome and inspirational shot that Ken Marshall took yesterday while we were sitting outside getting some solar-powered vitamin D, and post it with the hashtag!

"Humans make thousands of units of vitamin D within minutes of whole body exposure to sunlight. From what we know of nature, it is unlikely such a system evolved by chance"
