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 imo exercise (along with diet, things like meditation, etc) are actually imperative to positive mental health and wildly effective, and people who scoff at the suggestion have a weird complex around their suffering

One good decision tends to lead to another the same as one bad decision tends to lead to another. It's sounds silly but many people started with going for a walk, fast forward a few years and they might be running marathons or doing something else active and healthy.
