If at all possible, try to spend 5 minutes in nature. Listen for the sounds of animals and insects. Experience the weather — hot, cold, misty, or windy… Briefly meditate on your connection with all that is.

If you are not able to actually go outside or find a natural setting to enjoy, take a few minutes to imagine yourself in your favorite outdoor place. If possible, put on a tape or CD with nature sounds, or sit near a decorative fountain. Briefly meditate on your connection with all that is.
