Uitwaaien
Etymology
Dutch, literally "to out-blow," from "uit" (out) and "waaien" (to blow, of the wind). In the blustery Low Countries it describes the specific restorative act of walking somewhere windy to feel renewed.
verb · /OWT-vah-yun/
To go out into the wind, often on a brisk walk, in order to clear your head and refresh yourself.
What it names
Using rough weather as a deliberate tonic — letting the wind blow the mental cobwebs away.
Example
After staring at the screen all day she needed to uitwaaien along the seafront before she could think straight.
Related idea
Where shinrin-yoku seeks calm among still trees, uitwaaien seeks the opposite medicine — being buffeted by wind until your head feels swept clean.
