A 10-Week Path to Presence

Step outside each day for 5-10 minutes and immerse yourself in nature. Early daylight boosts vitamin D, mood, and sleep, supporting your overall wellbeing.

This week, ask yourself what brings you joy—then make time for a daily ritual, whether it’s reading or quietly enjoying your morning coffee.

Focus on nurturing connections with friends or loved ones. A quick call or shared walk can fill your days with warmth.
