Walk among the trees and lush greenery. Smell the flowers, the newly mowed grass, the fresh air. Let your mind rest on all that BEAUTY! Smile at people you see and they will usually smile back. Buy a cold drink or an ice cream cone, and let yourself marvel that you live in a time and place where that is available. Seriously, take a break in nature to renew your mind.
