Use your senses like a baby from time to time, i.e. take joy in using them, for listening to the rustling of leaves and murmuring of the brooks to seeing and feeling different textures that exist and breathing completely,i.e.,breathing into your belly. Your mind's health begins from your body's. What you take in through your senses will determine the health of your mind. Like simple, nutritious food keeps your gut fit, simple sensory stimulations do good to your mind.
Also, your awareness of your body-- its pains and pleasures-- is another ability everybody possesses. If used correctly in conjunction of the power of your imagination, it can do wonders. For those who feel butterflies in your stomach or anxiety in some other part of your body, imagine breathing in completely into that body part. Imagine the breath going there and massaging it gently and then carrying the panic and anxiety out of you when you exhale. It feels good. It did to me whenever i got those nasty panic attacks.
Remember, your body is nature's machine. It needs to be treated like one. It needs to be exposed to good and beneficial things and treated well. It can take in and do only so much and what it does determines how it's condition will turn out to be. So be judicious of what you choose to follow and do-- words and actions do matter. It's all a feedback loop. What you say and do makes who you are. Be wise about it and enjoy the simple things.
But all of this starts with you appreciating what you have and being grateful to life for it.
