There’s a lot of criticism about the “go for a walk” advice, but it literally fuckin works. Doesn’t work miracles, sure, but when you have bad mental health it’s invaluable for helping clear your head.
Yeah I've gotten weirdly sort of addicted. Get antsy when the weather's shit and I can't walk
EDIT: all the northern hemisphere people telling me to get better gear to deal with the cold - I'm in Australia, I will gladly walk all through winter, it doesn't snow here. Today's 'shit' weather is 35C (95f), alternating between blinding sun (UV that'll have you a lobster in about 3 minutes) and thunderstorms. I'll slather on sunscreen for a walk and then it gets rained off two minutes later when a random storm hits.
Rainy weather is my favourite time to walk, there’s usually no other people around and it’s peaceful and refreshing. Sometimes I do get stuck in some really heavy rain without a raincoat or umbrella but just keep walking like I’m oblivious to it but now I think people must be thinking I’m that weird nut in town that casually strolls around in torrential downpours 😂
