Nature is known to have a calming effect on the brain, so if you’re not one for sitting still try going for a mindful walk instead. A walk in nature helps to ground you in the present, and is a handy reminder that most things are out of your control.
The best way to begin calming your mind is by getting rid of outside distractions. You can do this by simply closing your eyes, by having a tidy environment, turning off screens, and going somewhere quiet are all extra ways to avoid getting thrown off by the busy world around you.
What you hear can be just as distracting as what you see! Replace loud music with a meditation or nature soundscape to quieten your mind.
