Everyone strives to be in a pleasant mood most of the time whether that be in the moment or just a general sense of attainment. There are so many events that we encounter daily that influence our state of mind such as physical activity, the season, and even the color that you are wearing. Keeping your mind fit and happy is an integral part of any healthy lifestyle. In Colorado, zipline guides love what they do and are some of the happiest people you’ll ever encounter. So, we’re taking a page out of their book on how ziplining is a great way you can improve your mood quickly with lasting effects.

EXERCISE

There is a proven connection between staying active and mental health. One of the keys to feeling better, and maybe even living longer, is incorporating some physical activity into our daily lives. The more exercise, the better. Just an hour of exercise a week can ward off that looming raincloud. The most important part is finding an activity you enjoy and can easily incorporate into your life. Not only is ziplining accessible for every fitness level, but your core muscles also get an amazing work out without the sweat, blisters, and achy muscles that would come from a trip to the gym. You will lower your blood pressure and burn some calories all while having a great time flying through the Colorado mountains. 

TIME WITH NATURE

Studies suggest that people who go out in nature have less activity in a part of the brain that is overactive during depression and stress. A zipline adventure through the Rocky Mountains is all it takes to alleviate negative feelings associated with the daily grind. As you soar through the forest you will be completely immersed in the color green which we tend to associate with happiness, and peace. There is no better way to experience the wonder of nature than from the best ziplining course in Colorado. The scenery from a cliffside or mountaintop zipline tour invokes a sense of tranquility; good for both the mind and the soul.
