5 Reasons why mowing your lawn is good for you


1.       Perfect time to ponder: If you have ever mowed a lawn, you sometimes find yourself day dreaming or in deep thought.  This is a good thing.  Your mind is like a big muscle and its needs to be exercised in order to function at its highest level.  I bet many good ideas have come from ordinary men just mowing their lawn.
2.       Let you creative side loose and mow however you want (figure 8’s or circles): A lot of us think of mowing the lawn as a chore.  Well, why not make it interesting?  Next time you mow the lawn try something new like figure eights, or if you really want to get crazy you should write your name.  Heck, why not?  You will find your creative side starts to take a hold of your brain.  When that happens your riding lawn mower might transform into a 200 MPH NASCAR.
3.       Could teach you to be a perfectionist: I guess if you’re already a perfectionist this already applies to you, but if you’re not and you want to be this is perfect for you.  Your lawn has a lot of imperfection, so this should be interesting.  Image an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.   
4.       Being outside can inspire you in many different ways: It could maybe inspire you to create the first fresh cut grass perfume, or maybe you could start a lawn cutting business that makes custom designs in people’s yards.  Your lawn could be a metaphor of your life, when your life starts to look out of control, it probably is.

5.       It teaches you Gratitude: I have seen people cut their grass with machetes, so the next time you’re on your riding lawn mower and your mad because you doing a chore just remember at least you have a lawn mower…and a yard.
