Tip #9: Get into nature

Wherever you end up…be sure to find a park, beach, lake, or forest where you can relax and soak up some nature. Getting outside and breathing the fresh air can make a big difference in your stress level.  Make a point to get into nature wherever you go.

Also, open your hotel room curtains before you go to sleep so that the morning light comes through and resets your circadian rhythm.  This makes sure that you are in sync with the local time. This is a therapeutic use of light and is key to getting your body in sync with reality. If your hotel room is pitch dark your brain will never get the signal that it’s time to produce those “wake me up hormones!”
