    Running. Just one foot in front of the other. Bonus points for running in a new place and taking in the sights.

      What does your mind do when you’re running? Can you just clear all thoughts and focus on breathing and one foot after the other.

      Or does the repetition make you spiral on every bad decision from the last 20 years like me 😅

        I am like you, running is good exercise but too boring and I can’t stop thinking. Aerobic dance like Jazzercise is perfectly calibrated so that I can just follow/do and not think but the class near me ended, they are only out in the suburbs now. Yoga is good if it’s the challenging vinyasa flow with music, I can sometimes get into that perfect mindset. But fucking Jazzercise was oddly perfect and is gone.

        My mind is writing books or short stories that will never be set on a paper, inventing new things that I have no idea how they’d work, but most importantly, my mind is busy arguing with others, and winning every argument :)
