Just a little outdoors time can replenish you.
Sure, we go outside to get into our car or take our pets out.
But how often do you consciously make an effort to embrace nature?

Just a little outdoors time can replenish you.
Write down your goals and ambitions.
Take a nap and dont feel bad about it.
Clean yourself and your room.
Watch your favorite movie.
Implying that you already own your favorite movie and dont have to buy/rent it, watch your favorite movie!
Its your favorite for a reason.
Even open up Netflix and pop on a flick that makes you laugh or simply feel happy.
Make it a goal to drink eight glasses of water.
Your body and your mind will thank you.
Turn off your screens for a night.
Turn off your laptop.
Set your alarms and hide your phone.
Take a long walk.
Do other activities that dont involve your eyes glued to a screen for one night.
Write down 10 things you are grateful for.
There is always something to be grateful for and doing so is a necessary act of self-care.
Bake something from your pantry items.
Odds are you have some flour and some sugar nestled in the back of your cabinet.
Bake something with an online recipe, or if you have that chefs touch, create something new!
Do a forward fold.
Sit on the floor in a classic butterfly.
Do some relaxing spinal twists.
You will feel amazing.
Turn on your favorite playlist and dance.
Endorphins, serotonin, and happiness, all from this simple action.
If you havent worn it in the past year, it is likely not an essential item.
Donate it and free up your wardrobe.
It will make you feel better and lighter in the process.
Make a list of 10 things you have accomplished in the last year.
Self-love is recognizing the progress you have made and being proud of the steps you are taking.
Watch the sunrise or sunset.
There are 365 days a year and two times each day to do this.
Try a new breathing technique.
It will calm your mind and your body.
Call someone you love and tell them how grateful you are for them.
Just because self-care and self-love have the word self in it doesnt mean you cant involve someone else.
In fact, making others feel good is a great way to boost your happiness in the process.
Listen to a podcast.
Eat a healthy meal.
You have to eat anyway, so you might as well make your meal a healthy one.
You know its good for you.
Fuel your body the nutrients it needs and you will feel mentally and physically better too.
Drive to a scenic location near your city.
You dont have to be in Bali or Southeast Asia to find pretty views.
A lake, a mountain lookout, a green area, a park.
Whatever your city has to offer, I am sure there are countless places that offer mind-clearing scenic views.
Vent to someone you trust.
Healthy venting can be a productive way to get rid of any negative energy you are holding on to.
Do absolutely nothing at all.
Heck, lie on the floor and just embrace being alive.
Sometimes doing nothing is the exact something you actually need.
