Singer Amy Grant walks barefoot on the grass whenever life becomes too much for her, after learning from a cancer survivor it's the best way to realign herself. The pop and gospel singer reveals she takes a moment to stand alone on her lawn whenever the stresses and strains of life get her down.

She explains, "If I am feeling stressed, I like to go outside and stand on the grass. I just think it helps... we are so exposed to technology, to so much electricity and current, I feel like if you can just step out and put your feet on earth, you have a chance to realign.

"I don't like going to a gym. A lot of people say, 'Hey, do you want to meet for lunch?' But I tend to ask my friends 'Would you like to meet for a walk?' especially when I am feeling stressful."

Grant owes her new-found happy moments to a pal who has successfully battled cancer.

She adds, "I love going out and walking with her. She is just an old country girl but she has great life knowledge. I noticed her walking on the grass and I said, 'It's so good to walk. Does it sound so crazy that all I want to do sometimes is walk barefoot in the grass?' and she was the one who said, 'Amy, I feel like the current of the earth, and we are all just a series of electrical impulses. How do you ever realign with the grand picture if you are always surrounded by concrete insulation?'"
