    Watch a fire burn. The warmth and flittering colors will have you stress free almost instantly.

    Stare at the moon. Sit outside at night, and without making a sound, gaze at the moon for five to ten minutes. The full moon works especially well for this.

    4.看營火。這種溫暖和飛逝的色彩能立刻讓你從煩憂中解脫。

    5.凝視月亮。深夜，坐在屋外，靜靜的，凝視月亮，5到10分鐘。如果是滿月效果就更好了。
