A well-balanced life is within walking distance

If you saw a pretty sunset from your window, what would you reach for first-- the door or your phone?

Today’s digital age has changed the way we connect with each other, and more importantly, with ourselves. We become listless and unmotivated to run errands because going out would mean getting bombarded with smoke, soil, and other dirt origins. This keeps us frequently inside and glued to our screens for hours on end.

Even GMA’s Sparkle artists aren’t exempted from the lack of outdoor recreation especially with the tight and changing schedules of life in the entertainment industry. Two of the most in demand Sparkle artists, AZ Martinez and Charlie Fleming, are constantly subjected to shoots, meetings, and projects resulting in immense exhaustion and eventual burnout. 

These effects are similar to what we experience when we’re cramped with the everyday pressures of school, work, and life in general.

Having a fine time outside even if it means getting soiled and muddied can do more wonders for our well-being than you think:

Helps us build an active lifestyle

The greatest gift you can give to your body is to get it moving. Not only does it help you accomplish tasks but also keeps it healthy and in great shape. Increased physical activity fulfills the needs of our bodies through improving our overall moods and boosting our immune systems.

Reconnects us with real world experiences

There are things in life that no search engine or AI tool is capable of teaching you unless you experience it yourself alongside other people and environments. Our outdoor encounters encourage these authentic interactions that enrich the human experience. It also develops crucial skills, imparts meaningful values, and helps us stay connected with our humanity.

Renews our appreciation for nature

Next to laughter, nature is also a great contender for the world’s best medicine. The quiet satisfaction of seeing waves crash into the shore, hearing leaves rustle gracefully in the wind, and smelling the crisp fresh air of a mountainside cannot be replicated even by the most high-definition screen display out there.

A productive day under the sun was set out for AZ and Charlie as they fearlessly competed in three intense MANTSAllenges for Breeze LarOlympics! These outdoor challenges, despite being a dirt magnet, were a perfect break from their jampacked routines as they were able to exercise their bodies and brains while having fun.

Breeze LarOlympics renewed the girls’ energies— helping them show off their abilities to lead their teams to victory. Watch how Breeze gave them the confidence to put their skills to the test here:

Similar to the super stain removal powers of Breeze Powder and Liquid Detergent, nature also has its healing powers. Take less time doing your laundry and more time counting your steps with Breeze’s kusot-free formula. Be more present and willing to step outside and bask in every experience even with the risk of mess.

Like AZ and Charlie, taking a breather outdoors helps us ‘show up’ for ourselves and others both physically and mentally— giving us the confidence to get down and dirty with every challenge thrown at us.
