  • Summary

  • Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

    1KHO 412: How to Do More With the Life You Have | Alastair Humphreys, Grand Adventures
    Jan 10 2025
    In this inspiring episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Alastair Humphreys to explore how to break free from the constraints of everyday life and embrace adventure in meaningful ways. Alastair shares his insights into the barriers that often stand in our way—like money and time—and dismantles the myths that adventures have to be expensive or extravagant. From setting up a simple adventure fund to savoring the benefits of traveling cheap, Alastair highlights how small, intentional steps can lead to extraordinary experiences. Whether it’s camping close to home or embarking on a low-budget global trek, he emphasizes that adventure is more about mindset than resources. The conversation is packed with wisdom, humor, and practical advice for anyone looking to enrich their life. Alastair reflects on how cheap adventures offer a unique perspective on gratitude, the fleeting nature of time, and the richness of life’s experiences. With anecdotes of walking, biking, and even wild camping, he invites listeners to think differently about what’s possible with what they already have. This episode is a powerful reminder that life is ticking by, and the best adventures are often within reach when we choose to do more with the life we’ve been given. ** Get your copy of Grand Adventures here Get your copy of MicroAdventures here Learn more about Alastair here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 411: Stop Resisting Your Life | Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning
    Jan 8 2025
    In this thought-provoking episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich speaks with Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning, about how small but intentional changes can lead to life-altering transformations. Hal recounts his journey of overcoming extraordinary adversity—from a near-fatal car accident to battling cancer—and how these experiences shaped his mission to help others. At the heart of his message is the question: “How am I going to turn my life around?” Through mindset strategies like the Five-Minute Rule and the belief that happiness is fleeting but peace is enduring, Hal shares how focusing on what’s possible and refusing to settle for less than your best can change everything. Hal challenges us to rethink how we start our day, asserting that “everything you do is affected by how effectively you start your day.” By shifting your morning habits, you can overcome the limiting belief that you’re not a morning person, stop resisting your life, and set the tone for meaningful change. He explains how settling for mediocrity makes life a struggle and reminds us that living to our full potential is the greatest gift we can give to those we love. If you’ve ever wondered, “What if you could change anything about your life by changing the way you start your day?” this episode offers the inspiration and tools to make it happen. ** Get your copy of the expanded edition of The Miracle Morning here Learn more about Hal here Learn more about Hal's podcast here ** Download your free 1000 Hours Outside tracker here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/trackers Find everything you need to kick off your 1000 Hours Outside Journey here >> https://www.1000hoursoutside.com/blog/allthethings Order of copy of Ginny's newest book, Until the Streetlights Come On here >> https://amzn.to/3RXjBlN Learn more about your ad choices.
