Be in nature

Kick off your shoes. Let your bare feet touch the grass. Spending time in the natural environment has been shown to have a calming effect on the brain.

The Vitamin D you get from sunlight also helps improve mood, so leave your phone at home and visit your local park, beach, or bushland.

Pay attention to the sights, smells, and sounds. Listen to the wind rustling through the trees. Breathe in the salty air of the ocean. Slow down and watch the wildlife. Stay still and just observe.
