Whenever I get somewhere like this, I try to find something outside that's a big ol
to put some energy into. Whether that's some kind of exercise, yard project, or something else - I spent a good few hours on cleaning my shed today. It kinda helps recenter myself, even if it really sucks to get started on it.
And like others said, if you
for a bit, there'll be even more posts for you to see when you have time to come back.
I miss exercise, I have a bike and I used to really like long jogs and shit, but I'm so far past being able to exercise now. Half hour walks can brutalise me if I'm not careful. Also I got no yard =)
I am decent at doing projects to recenter, for me I usually record tapes or do something computer related, hardware or software or w/e. I also like doing maintenance around the house, installing curtain rods or replacing window screens, washing clothes by hand. Projects are good!
Yeah, anything to make the space you live in a touch nicer is always great!
Even if exercise is a bit much for you, just getting some fresh air and sun can really work wonders - just something like reading a book for a bit at the park or whatever can help.
Read, outside
the theoretical possibility of someone asking what I'm reading is both terrifying and fascinating. Maybe if I ever detach at the hip from wifey...
Fwiw I do still try to keep "active", like we made walking to the grocery store more scenic and it's almost 30mins now. I could maybe serve to just go for walks more?
