3. Have a picnic

Grab a blanket, some food, and head to a nearby park or somewhere scenic for a picnic. This is a great way to enjoy the warmer weather and spend time in nature. You can even bring some books or board games to enjoy while you relax.

4. Take a bike ride

Biking is a great way to explore your surroundings and get some exercise at the same time. Whether you take an easy leisurely ride to help you relax, or tackle a more challenging route, biking is a fun way to enjoy the outdoors and get some fresh air.

5. Enjoy yoga outdoors

Take your yoga practice outside and enjoy the beauty of nature as you move through your positions. Whether you choose a local park, the beach, or your own backyard, practicing yoga outside can be a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.

6. Take a nature walk

Take a leisurely stroll in nature and take in all the sights and sounds around you. In our busy world, this is a great way to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the world that we often don't get the chance to truly enjoy. Go barefoot and feel the grass under your feet to really connect to nature.

7. Try bird watching

Grab a pair of binoculars and a field guide and head to a nearby park or nature reserve to see what birds you can spot. You can always bird watch from your own backyard! Encourage hummingbirds to visit by planting lots of flowers with nectar and perhaps offer a bird nectar feeder - we've got tips for how to maintain a nectar feeder.
