Here is a list of some things that I enjoy that tend to allow my mind to stop for a little while and refocus:
- taking long walks/bike rides outdoors
By doing this, you are able to stop and enjoy all the beauty around you and become more relaxed by reflecting on all that nature has to offer.
- listen to music
One thing I have found is that music is able to take you to any special place you wish to go. It allows you to revisit old memories or is able to give you some sort of hope by allowing the lyrics/sounds to wash over you.
- go exploring/ seek adventure
Sometimes when I have so much to get done and can't possibly think anymore I decide to go out and try something new or go search for something exciting. I also like to explore and discover new places/spots (especially different coffee shops).
- enjoy a movie
Movies or television shows are a great way to just stop what you are doing for a short amount of time and relax.
- spend some time with positive people
There are some days that we all can just use a little bit of encouragement and reassurance from a friend. No matter the circumstance, a good friend will always be there to help shine a bit of positivity on a situation.
- get up and enjoy the sunrise, stay out and watch the sunset, or go star gazing
Nature has a wonderful way of allowing you to let go of your thoughts/feelings and focus on something more beautiful and promising.
There are all kinds of different ways to handle stress or things that you might be going through. I hope maybe some of these ideas will help you do that, or maybe even helped spark some other idea that could help you combat anything.
