Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!  

Here are today’s Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Recreation And Parks Month:

Take a look at what is available near you for a relatively low entertainment fee

From camping overnight to enjoying the day at the beach our parks can provide an opportunity to enjoy some of the best views and activities our countries have to offer. If you are camping overnight, plan for both the good weather and bad.

Let go of your everyday worries and be in the moment. Enjoy the sights and sounds that only our parks can provide.

Leave your technology at home or at least turn it off. There is nothing like cooking outdoors or sitting beside the fire. Resist the urge to bring modern conveniences with you. Check in for messages only when absolutely necessary

Our parks are one of our national treasures that many of us don’t take the time to enjoy. However, they can provide us with an opportunity to relax and get connected with ourselves, our family and friends and to nature itself.
