For me, eating outside is a great way to combine a meal with some light exercise, like a walk to a nearby park. It makes the break feel more complete.

Fresh air during lunch feels like hitting a reset button. It gives me a moment to reflect, which often sparks new ideas or solutions to challenges I’m facing.
I don't always take my breaks outside, but when I do, I feel more calm and focused. I think it’s the change of scenery that helps.
I started taking my lunch breaks outside recently, and it's been a small but powerful change. It helps me clear my head and feel less overwhelmed by the day.
For me, stepping outside during lunch breaks makes a big difference. Even a short walk helps me feel re-energized and ready to tackle the afternoon.
During the warmer months, yes! Absolutely a great idea. But these days, up here in Canada, there is barely any sun and it can get well below freezing. A quick walk, however, isn't out of the question.
