2. Physical Activity: Regular exercise, like walking the fields or working with animals, can boost mood and reduce stress.
3. Mindfulness: Practices like meditation or deep breathing can help center your thoughts and reduce anxiety.
4. Creative Outlets: Engaging in hobbies like painting, writing, or gardening can provide a sense of accomplishment and joy.
5. Nutrition: A balanced diet can impact your mood and energy levels.
