Learn some useful skills at your own pace while enjoying some quiet time in nature. There’s lots going on that will lift your mood and make you feel less anxious about life. Grow vegetables, do some outdoor cooking, get active working in the woods, do wildlife surveys and make stuff that helps nature.
