Go Outside, If Possible

Check local guidelines for your community to make sure it's safe to go outside. If so, just stepping out of your home for some fresh air can help to clear your mind and cleanse any anxious thoughts. "Go for a walk, or sit and read a book outside," said Meira Ellias, LCSW, owner and director of DC Therapeutic Services.

Walk, jog, or simply "move your body in a way that feels good to you," Dr. Courtney recommended. "Feel your feet grounded on the earth with each step. Breathe in the fresh air. Give gratitude to your body. Notice all of the beauty you pass on the way."
