Mindfulness Tip:
Reconnect with nature through the practice of shinrin yoku, or forest bathing. Spend at least 15 minutes each day immersing yourself in the sights and sounds of the outdoors. Embrace the calming effects as you listen to birdsong, feel the breeze, and observe the natural beauty around you. This mindful practice reduces stress, boosts immunity, and enhances your ability to appreciate the present moment.
