July Highlight
Engage With Your Environment
- Ideas for Connecting With Your Environment:
- Farmers Market or grocery produce section
- Increase awareness of the sky, the view out your window
- Strolls, rides, walks, hikes, or drives near where you live
- Nature scavenger hunts
- Revisiting photos or videos of past vacations
- Slow, mindful appreciation of nature
- Planning trips for nature experiences
- Bird watching or gardening
As you engage with nature, your mood can lift and your mind can think through challenges. If you find yourself needing some deep breaths, take a look out the window or pop outside for a moment (or two) for reflection.
Mindfulness Mental Health Minute sessions through your EAP are a great way to learn techniques to lower stress as you engage with nature. Sign up for a 15 minute Mental Health Minute session here.
For free, confidential counseling services, call 1-800-832-7733 M – F 8 am to 5 pm MST to schedule an appointment. In addition, our urgent call counselors will answer 24/7/365 for in-moment support.
