I am much more satisfied w myself when I do this every day. Sometimes when my awareness has been compressed into a pop tart sized lcd screen, going outside and looking at the tree canopies can feel like an acid trip. When I'm not making a practice out of it I feel like I've lost the way.
poem by Nanao Sakaki:
If you have time to chat,
Read books.
If you have time to read books,
Walk into mountain, desert, and ocean.
If you have time to walk,
Sing a song and dance.
If you have time to dance,
Sit quietly, you lucky, happy idiot.

walk in nature, go to the park if possible. watch birds and other animals. take headphones and listen to some tunes if you'd like
Also I'd recommend journaling or taking up any sort of writing. I may be biased b/c half of what I've been doing with my time lately has been poem writing, but taking up creative writing is so fun and full of endless possibilities. Best part is you don't have to show anyone if you don't want to b/c at the end of the day, you're ideally doing it for the joy of creation and the love of the game.

look at a tree. draw something from life. do a puzzle or craft. write a letter by hand. spend a whole day of unstructured time with a friend. let yourself get bored enough to notice what’s around you.

think about it, join me:
maybe journal, maybe clean, maybe egg, maybe egg sandwich. perhaps guitar or favorite record or long shower. refill water whenever you need it. gaze up at a tree from underneath for too long or not long enough or maybe just the right amount of time to realize you have blanket and limitless afternoon and warmth of people you love, and you sit down and look at all of the moss and tiny mushrooms and patterns of the bark and exist within the smallness of yourself in the big wide universe.

I always feel pressured to fill beautiful journals with beautiful thoughts, and sometimes my thoughts are all shitty
So i go out and buy a cheap little shitbook. And i feel better

Usually i’m not a big fan of peanut butter snacks (esp dessert foods) but this is good. The ratio and construction ensures that the peanut butter adds just enough sweetness and complexity without sacrificing texture
