Ingredient: Public Spaces to Relax
Having places where people come together, relax and enjoy
How
01
Spot an easy place: Look for a park bench, shaded plaza, temple street, or library atrium near your route.
02
Keep it short and simple: Spend 10 minutes sitting, strolling, or just watching life around you—no phone, no agenda.
03
Make it a habit: Tie it to an existing routine: after an errand, before heading home, or during a commute break.
Easy Start
On your next errand, pause for 5 minutes at a park bench or shaded spot before heading home.
Why It Matters
A tiny outdoor pause clears your head and slows the rush. It turns public spaces into easy comfort zones—making daily life feel lighter and more balanced.
Questions and Thoughts
- “I don’t have time.” → Even 5 minutes counts; pair it with an errand or commute.
- “Crowds bother me.” → Choose quieter pockets or off-peak hours.
- “Feels pointless.” → Think of it as a reset—like a tea break for your mind.
Care Notes
Pick safe, well-lit spots. Avoid blocking paths or disturbing others. Carry water if it’s hot.
