  1. Get outside. Just a few minutes of fresh air and sunlight can have a huge benefit. Step out on your patio or take a quick walk down the street to nourish yourself.
  2. Breathe. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in, then exhale. Repeat for a few minutes and allow yourself a quick moment of relaxation.
  3. Stretch. Take some time to stretch and give your body some love.
  4. Dance. Turn on your favorite song and dance it out!
