One of my big hobbies is long-distance running. I’m one of those weird people who’ll wake up and run in the morning. Depending on the day of the week, my run can range from around 6 miles (10km) to 13 (21km). Yes, I run half-marathons for fun. I’m aware how weird that is.
But running is really important to me. When I’m outside and plugging away at the miles, I get the chance to think about all srots of things. Most of them come down to my writing, because while I’m out there for an hour, it’s not like I have much else to do except think about my work.
More than that, I find it therapeutic, regardless of what’s going on in my life. Whenever I wake up anxious, angry, sad, or something in-between, getting outside helps clear my mind. I’ll discuss this more at another time, I don’t feel like getting too depressing right now, but this is the main reason I run.
Do you have any mechanisms in place – not necessarily running or exercise-based – for whenever you’re not in the best place? Let me know!
See you soon,
Conrad 🙂
