What daily practice do you currently find most nourishing?

In terms of "formal practice" I do a breath practice slow and deep (3 breaths per minute)
I also do a gratitude practice when I wake up and when I go to sleep
I love to listen to the birds in the pre-dawn morning and the peepers in the evening
Watching fireflies and bats
Cooking
Feeding birds, ducks, horses, gardening...
