Research has shown 20-30 minutes in a natural environment is quite beneficial to mental health. Just being around plants outside with quiet nature sounds is ideal.

I also like to play some music on an instrument. Either just by myself or jamming along with some music I like.

Some kind of exercise can also be really helpful. Taking some time for a bit of meditative breathing or a power nap is also nice.

Combine these together in various ways is really wonderful if possible.
