Driving during lower light (late afternoon, early morning.. but not nighttime) on twisty country roads. Cleaning stalls (I get to do this for over an hour every day now, yay! Might keep me more centered), riding horses, laying on my back in a green field looking at the sky and listening to the sounds around me.. looking at the stars.
Whenever I need to calm down, I think of Coldplay's "Don't Panic" and I'm instantly taken to the country road I used to drive down to get to work.. going around a slow bend in early autumn, with brightly-colored leaves gently falling to cover the road, green grass and small country homes on either side. It's my "everything's okay" moment.
