Write an encouraging message written in chalk on a sidewalk
Find something that represents growth and new beginnings (e.g., sprouting plant or flower)
Draw or doodle something you see in nature
Do a “5 senses check-in” outdoors (what you see, hear, smell, touch, taste)
Pick up a piece of litter to help the environment
Spend 1 minute watching animals (birds, squirrels, bugs, etc.)
Sit quietly and take 5 deep breaths outside
Walk with a friend and share one positive thought
Skip stones, toss a ball, or do something playful outside
Notice 3 different sounds
Wave or smile at someone you pass
A bench where you can sit and reflect
Sit under a tree and breathe deeply
Watch the clouds and find a fun shape
Find a teal and purple ribbon (symbol of suicide prevention month)
Find a smooth or uniquely shaped rock
Walk barefoot in the grass for 1 minute
Take a 1-minute mindful walk
Feel the sun on your face and pause to enjoy it
Find a shadow with an interesting shape
Write or say aloud one thing you are grateful for
Listen for natural sounds instead of man-made ones
Drink water while sitting outdoors
Take a photo of something beautiful outside
Try gentle stretching or yoga outside
Close your eyes and notice the breeze for 30 seconds
