- Surround yourself with nature. Nature makes us feel good and improves our health. It helps as a buffer against the stress we deal with on a daily basis. If nature is inaccessible, looking at photos of nature helps, as well as listening to birds and rain.

- Declutter. When we see the order in our environment it gives us a comforting feeling because it makes life easier to navigate.
