Adapt your routine

Two hours a week spent in nature – even if split into short bursts – has been found to give health and wellbeing a significant boost, according toresearch by the University of Exeter Medical School. Dr Mathew White, who led the study, suggested that a sense of tranquility could be key. Starting your day with a coffee in the garden, or even near an open window, is a simple way to inspire calm. Going outside during your lunch break or spending a few minutes looking at the night sky before bed are other ideas.
