Our minds, bodies, and souls

Is by connecting with nature.
People who have a hard time connecting with nature can try practicing self-soothing at home by looking at pictures of green spaces, smelling green tea, or just looking out the window.
Self-soothing is a technique that helps people regulate their emotions and reduce the intensity of negative emotions.
It is a way to calm down when you are feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed.
