Next time you have a spare moment, or even if your just bored, go grab your iPod/mp3 and head outdoors (yes, into the light) and lay on the grass and stare into the clouds. Providing it's not raining, it's actually a pretty relaxing experience as I so discovered today. I know it sounds a little gay, and maybe slight hippie, but it's just a great way to wind down and relax, refocus and feel great.

This morning my lecture finished early and seeing as my tutorial wasn't for another hour, I somehow felt the need to go walk across the QUT grounds and sprawl out on the grass outside my lecture room. You feel like a bit of a twat at first, but after laying on my bag and plugging in, you forget that people are around and just soak up the sunshine and music.

Looking at the clouds is relaxing and you find that after awhile you become a bit of an expert at creating monsters, animals and scenes in the sky. I guess it taps into your creative juices. As time passes you don't really think about anything at all, you start to just feel the music pumping through your ears. Highly recommended, just you, the clouds, an army of hungry ants and music

OaO
