    and don't forget to hug some trees.

  2. Also try standing barefoot in dirt/soil, when you are stressed or angry. It will help you ground yourself and calm yourself by letting Mother Earth take the negative crap away. 🙂

  3. Oh, I agree with this hypothesis…..it does me a "world of good" mentally and physically when I take a hike in my local county park. I'm a regular walker in this park, and several times a month, I take a hike. I feel so good when I leave the mini-forest and go back to my car. A word of caution, before beginning a hike, please get real hiking shoes…..don't just wear your gym shoes, because they are not water/mud proof and the last thing you want is cold feet and soggy wet socks. Secondly take care to not get lost, make sure you know where you are, and take a small backpack with some healthy snacks, flashlight and water, maybe an extra piece of clothing even if it is just for a few hours. After the hike, put on other shoes that are in the car, because you may encounter mud. Hiking shoes are a necessary investment and they do last longer than your average gym shoes, unless you hike many times a week.
