There’s a phenomenon that takes place within us when we spend three days in the great outdoors. It’s called “the 3-day effect.” Three days in nature can reset our brains. And after those three days, our ability to problem solve goes up, our inductive reasoning goes up, and we become more creative. When we step out of life as we know it and into life as we were meant to live it, it changes us. And whenever I vacation in the wilderness, I always know when “the 3-day effect” kicks in. It’s that noticeable.
Last month I spent eight days in Yellowstone National Park. “The 3-Day Effect” prompted me to write the following entry in my journal:
“Dying is a hard process.
Staying dead is a hard process.
And when the third day comes, you don’t will yourself back to life.
Only the resurrection can do that.”
