#6. Be intimate with nature.
Especially take daily note of the sky: sun and moon, clouds, weather, planets, stars. Learn from animals. Be astonished by geology and plant life.
The best way to get closer to nature is to go outside and move! Walking, jogging, running in the great outdoors is not only good for your physical health, it is good for your spiritual health. I run in the early morning several times a week, soaking in all that I encounter, from the early morning sunrise to the birds chirping to each other in the trees.
