As people in virtually every corner of the globe continue to adapt to the effects of the global&nbsp;pandemic, the concept has emerged as a currency for&nbsp;the body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friluftsliv directly translates to \u201cfree-air life\u201d and refers to a love of the outdoors. Norwegians are known to be passionate about nature, whether they live in cities or smaller towns. \u201cWe Norwegians regard friluftsliv as a wide range of outdoor activities in nature,\u201d says&nbsp;Bente Lier, general secretary of Norsk Friluftsliv. \u201cThis includes walking, cycling, berry and mushroom harvesting, fishing and, of course, cross-country skiing.\u201d Incidentally,&nbsp;before we talk,&nbsp;Lier&nbsp;had completed a round of skiing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term friluftsliv was popularised by Norwegian playwright&nbsp;Henrik Ibsen, in 1859. However, the concept of being in nature for purely recreational purposes is much older and&nbsp;played an important part in building a unique Norwegian national identity.  You see, in Norway, there\u2019s no such thing as bad weather. Only bad clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, in Norway, there\u2019s no such thing as bad weather. Only bad clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friluftsliv \u2013 and the idea of embracing outdoor activities \u2013 has been an important coping mechanism for many Norwegians&nbsp;during the pandemic. Last year,&nbsp;one in three of the country\u2019s citizens&nbsp;increased the time they spent outdoors. A study last August by French research company Ipsos found that over the summer, more than 1.5 million Norwegians went camping \u2013 an impressive statistic in a country of about&nbsp;5.4 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being outdoors offers a sense of peace and quiet, and allows you to embrace the silence you find in nature, says Lier. \u201cTo us, going outdoors is always nice. Cold or rainy weather is never an excuse for staying indoors,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research published on medical database ScienceDirect.com highlights how being in nature has clear positive mental benefits&nbsp;in reducing anxiety and improving cognition, and&nbsp;the positive effects can be felt in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/julie-aagaard-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/julie-aagaard-1.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.andyleve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/julie-aagaard-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Julie Aargard<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And,&nbsp;Lier says, this is a lifestyle trend that can be enjoyed almost anywhere. \u201cThe most important thing is to keep it simple. There is no need for a fancy expedition; going for a walk in the park or the beach is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This affinity with nature is perhaps one of the reasons why Norway ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world. \u201cIt is fair to say that friluftsliv is an important factor in Norwegians feeling as happy as we do, because being outdoors brings happiness,\u201d Lier says. \u201cNature is open 24\/7; it is an escape room and a place for disconnecting from all corona worries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the UAE, there are myriad opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, especially while the weather is&nbsp;pleasant. While we may not have Norway\u2019s evergreen forests, there are wadis to explore, walks along the beach to be had, kilometres of cycling track&nbsp;to attack&nbsp;and infinite stretches of desert to camp in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s only&nbsp;one important thing to remember, Lier says: \u201cIn nature, we smile and say hello.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Erhardsson An affinity with nature has shaped the country&#8217;s national identity, but &#8216;free-air life&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[203],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","post_format-post-format-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is friluftsliv?
