If you’re far away from the woods, deep breathing can help you stay in tune with the universe. “First thing in the morning, go outside of your house, look up at the sky, and just take a big, deep breath in and out,” Danette recommends. “The beautiful thing about doing that is it will put your mind and your cells back into perspective, reminding you that you’re part of something so much bigger than yourself.” 5. Last, but certainly not least, a great way to connect with nature is to eat it .

The most important way Danette connects with nature every day is by earthing , or touching the earth directly. “I take off my shoes and put my feet on the earth, whether that’s snow, sand, dirt, rock, or grass,” she says.

Another easy way to enjoy nature is simply to step into it and listen . “I connect just by closing my eyes and hearing the sounds of nature, whether it’s the wind, or the birds, or the trees swaying,” Danette explains. “I just listen and feel what nature is trying to say.”
