Experiencing Nature
Interacting with nature can calm the stress response and decrease depression, your heart rate, and your blood pressure.
Get outside, breathe fresh air, feel the sun.
- Go outside every day!
- Look up at the sky. Feel the sunshine or rain on your face.
- Breathe fresh air.
- Smell flowers, walk on grass, listen to birds, touch a tree.
