How Happier App Users Participate in the “Go Outside 23 in ’23” Challenge.
As we reach the end of April, Happier app users around the globe are making significant progress in the “Go Outside 23 in ’23” Challenge. With nearly three million minutes logged outside, users are reaping the benefits of spending time in nature, getting physical activity, and improving their mood and sleep cycles. In this article, we’ll look closer at how Happier app users participate in the Challenge and how they’re finding success with different tools and strategies.
Getting outside for better physical and mental health
According to Happier app users participating in the “Go Outside 23 in ’23” Challenge, spending time outside offers many benefits. From getting vitamin D to improving mood and sleep cycles, there are many reasons why spending time outdoors is good for us. Being in nature can also encourage calm, creativity, and mindfulness. Plus, doing physical activity supports overall health and energy levels.
Finding tools that work for building habits
Happier app users rely on various tools to track their progress in the Challenge, with each device offering unique benefits. As we know, different tools and strategies work for other people when building habits. The key is finding a tool that works for you.
To get started, you can identify your Tendency – how you respond to inner and outer expectations. The Happier app offers a variety of tools that cater to each Tendency. Looking at the Tendencies represented by the Happier app users, here are some interesting insights:
– Obligers, who readily meet outer expectations, often benefit from accountability when meeting inner expectations. More Obligers use the Accountability Partners tool than any other Tendency.
– Questioners have a more even spread across the different tools than the other Tendencies. Rather than selecting the device the app recommends, they’re weighing the options and selecting the best tool.
– Upholders are more likely to select the Don’t Break the Chain tool than any other Tendency. This tool is recommended for Upholders by the app because it sets clear expectations and gives you a satisfying check mark.
– Rebels resist all kinds of expectations – they appreciate choices and spontaneity. More than half of Rebel app users have chosen the Photo Log to track their progress, which allows flexibility and creativity. They’re also the only Tendency for which Don’t Break the Chain was not the most popular tool.
Cultivating an atmosphere of growth
To be happier, we need to think about feeling good, wrong, and right in an atmosphere of growth. This means pursuing aims that help us feel positive emotions, eliminate sources of negative emotions, enact our values, and find experiences of development, learning, and teaching. When we find a tool or strategy that works for us, we can apply that self-knowledge to other aims and cultivate an atmosphere of growth that is a key to happiness.
Building one habit often boosts our self-control and helps reinforce other foundational habits. For instance, going outside and getting sunshine and exercise helps people sleep – and sleep helps people do everything better.
