Not because you have to, but because you WANT to! Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.
1. Riding my horse bareback with nothing but pure muscle and power beneath me and being able to trust it implicitly like I can nothing else. And the ache of muscles afterwards.
2. Just lying with my cat asleep on my stomach on the trampoline looking at stars on a clear night.
3. Reading a book that is so enthralling I forget my surroundings.
4. Climbing so high in a tree that when people come looking for you they can't find you. (even better when combined with 3 although slightly dangerous if not properly attached to a branch or 2)
5. Lying in my pajamas in the garden just after a rain storm feeling the cold moisture seep over my back. Just absorbing it like words from a conversation I don't want to hear.
6. Cooking and having a good long meaningless chat to someone while I do it.
