Yes, it's always great when you don your running shoes and plug in your earphones for a brisk walk (or "run" for those with better, younger knees), but don't discount the stress relief and joy of tending to your homespace and garden. Sitting in the grass, pulling weeds, dead-heading spent flowers, coaxing new growth while allowing your thoughts and dreams to wander ... very refreshing for the mind, body and spirit. Your physical actions of raking and mowing and carrying and digging can actually add up to a 10K without your even knowing it! Does anyone have a backyard filled with autumn leaves that need to be raked into a couple of piles? I know of a little leprechaun who would love to hide beneath them.

Although not everyone has that luxury, even a few minutes a day spent in meditation has millions of followers and believers across the world who are reaping the benefits of lower stress and balance in their life.
