This week's tip: Try "sensory anchoring" on your next walk or hike.
Every few minutes, pause and name:
๐๐ผ3 things you can hear
๐ซณ๐ผ2 things you can feel (wind, temperature, the ground under your feet)
๐๐ผ1 thing you can smell
A lot of people shrug this off but honestly, it isn't just mindfulness fluff โ it activates your parasympathetic nervous system & pulls you out of fight, flight or freeze.
Nature does half the work; you just have to show up and give it a chance.
๐ง The research calls it ecotherapy โ and it works even on a 20-minute neighborhood walk.
