It wasn\u2019t even because she had found heading outside to be so transformative she had to do it every day. Originally, the 20 minute daily challenge was born of a question: how would her life change if she went outside for a certain amount of time every day for a year?  The experiment started September 1, 2017. And there at the beginning was Amy\u2019s friend Holly Wise, helping her develop the concept just as she had for all of Amy\u2019s big ideas since 2004. Today, four years after starting her experiment hundreds and hundreds of hours outside as part of her daily practice Amy and Holly discuss what Amy has learned over the course of her habit -- and what you can learn, too.
