Time in nature

You do not need a mountain. A park, a garden, a tree-lined street. Twenty minutes outside resets more than you would expect. **How to do it** - Get to the greenest, quietest spot within reach. - Phone away. Walk slowly or just sit and notice the light, the leaves, the sound. - Log it when you head back in. **Why it works** Time among living things lowers stress, lifts mood, and softens the mental chatter, measurably. It is rest that asks nothing of you and gives back a steadier nervous system.
