Sit near a fountain
Install a small fountain on your patio or a bird bath in the garden to add a soothing element to your outdoor living experience. The sound of falling water helps clear an overstimulated mind and can drown out distracting environmental noises, allowing you to focus more easily on what’s important. Even sitting next to an urban water fountain in a public area can stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which in turn signals your body to relax.
