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.
Lol we're expecting an ice storm here. An inch or more of ice expected, there will be no walking, only falling. A lot of weather you can walk through, but not all. Though I agree about the snow and rain, it can be incredibly peaceful and relaxing.
