Sound - love me some J. Vernon McGee
Activity - running, even on the dreaded treadmill, but especially in the park and seeing wildlife!

Yes, I LOVE your multi-sensory approach to this. Am currently reading the (somewhat older) book "A Natural History of the Senses" by Diane Ackerman and she writes evocatively and poetically--she's a published poet as well--about the powers of our various senses, even if, compared to other creatures, they aren't particularly keen (sight being a notable exception).
But, @surftohealth88, yes! I think appreciating nature is absolutely paramount, a balm to the soul. I, likewise, enjoy birds, but also trees and the sky, whether looking at clouds or the nighttime sky (Jupiter is particularly brilliant towards the east just now).
I've been attracting lovely goldfinches to my patio with a Nyjer seed feeder, photo attached.
