, there are benefits to listening to nature while you walk—specifically on days you're looking for some extra relaxation. Yes, listening to nature sounds seems quite lovely, but there's actually research to back up the benefit, too.

In addition, that same study showed that a voiced meditation may also help ease stress and increase happiness—so that's always an option too.
