May brings National Nurses Month and Mental Health Month, so it's the perfect time to open the door and embrace the healing power of nature with the Snaps and Steps challenge, sponsored by Humana.

Research shows that spending time in nature lowers stress, anxiety, and depression while improving mood and well-being. Walking at least 10,000 steps per day is another activity that has a slew of health benefits, including relieving symptoms of depression and anxiety. If your stress levels are climbing, a nature walk can help ease the load. Just a few minutes outside can significantly affect how you feel.

Getting a quick boost for your mental health isn’t as complicated as it seems. Simply step outside!

Instead of listening to music or a podcast, let’s focus on the sights, sounds, and smells of nature during this challenge. We’ll listen to birds chirping, find beautiful flowers, and simply take time to breathe fresh air. We’ll also snap some photos to share with fellow nurses. Each task is designed to lift your spirits and reconnect you with the healing energy of the outdoors.

Are you ready to kick your stress and anxiety to the curb while having fun and getting in your steps? Lace up your shoes, step outside, and let's start this adventure together.

Though this challenge concluded on May 17, we encourage you to try it on your own, or with a friend or colleague! Get started here. Invite a #healthynurse"> #healthynurse you know or share the challenge on your social media by clicking the links on this page.

Warning: Please consult with your medical provider before engaging in strenuous cardiovascular activity.
