In summer, 10 – 15 minutes of sun exposure are enough!
Physical Exercise
No matter how tired you may feel, it is important to spend at least a few minutes each day exercising, even if it is mild. Just a walk in nature, a few minutes of running, or a short video training (yoga, pilates, etc.) are enough. The body can better deal with stress when it is in a fit mode. Also, the mind concentrates on exercise and puts aside negative thoughts.
