There are small things that soothes a human, in general, and especially in rough situations of life. Some are: putting own feet in water, resting hands on the heart, drinking warm water, opening a window in car or house. These tihngs may not soothe eveyone, but they work with most people. Doing these, or similar, actions on a regular basis helps to keep the mind calm and relaxed.
The power of noticing helps to understand the nuances of the nature and life. The subtle differences of the nature give us an idea that how much difference can outlook create alone. For example, if we look at moonlight, birds and scent of rain; we will notice that the moonlight is directed through the sun, but still helps to calms people's mind and everyone admires it, though it's not moon's direct quality. The birds we praise are chirping constantly, just like humans talking and interrupting each other, but they sound so beautiful to us. The dirt that rain creates is tough, but the scent of rain is hypnotizing. So, in conclusion, they way we look at things matter a lot when it comes to perceiving life. A positive outlook towards life can help us to be in 'light' most of the time.
The sounds of nature are the biggest blessings that Universe has given to us. The birds chirping, the rain sound, the sound of leaves in a jungle, the city road sound - helps a lot to ground ourselves and connect us to our original self - carefree, childlike, and joyful. Some sites like this helps us to listen these amazing sounds of the nature and keep us in present, helping to live stress-free life.
