This week has been pretty hot, especially the further inland you go. By the beach however, has been beautiful with a fresh seabreeze.

I know that some people may disagree with my thoughts and thinkings from this week, but I am just speaking from my experiences!

With central temperature control and air conditioning all throughout the country, many people move from their air conditioned houses to their air conditioned cars, into their air conditioned workplace and visa versa at the end of the day.

Too many people can no longer handle the heat! We live in Australia, and so many people can’t figure out how to deal with the weather. In schools, if it’s spitting rain, he children get brought indoors, if it’s too hot, they get brought inside. What ever happened to running through a sprinkler in the heat or putting on rubber boots and a raincoat in the rain? Surely adapting to weather is a life skill?!

It’s no secret, I love weather. I love all seasons, storms and everything that comes with it. There is point in not loving it. I can’t change it and I don’t want to stop my life because of the extremities. I get up earlier in the day to exercise and I try to rearrange my day to be outdoors at sunset and sunrise when it’s beautiful and cool.

I need to admit, that I find air conditioning too cold in many cases and I’d rather be outside. But, I feel like the problem is deeper than air conditioning.

External factors (as in outside of your body) can make things more comfortable, sure. But if your internal dialogue is constantly trying to fight something you can’t change, then you’ll never be happy!

Unless indoors, we’ve been mainly running early sessions this summer so that the kids can get outdoors and be active. I’m definitely not saying that they should be rolling around outdoors at 2pm with sweltering heat! But no matter what time of year it is, there is always a time of day where being outdoors and active can be done.
