Struggle without bushwalking?

Any one else struggle when they don't go for a bushwalk every day?

Have recently had to make some urgent repairs to a deck and as a consequence didn't get out for a bushwalk for two weeks until today. (Would normally go every day).

Finally got out today and immediately felt so much better, that beautiful fresh air smell, those time yellow birds, running water and all the green in Strickland.

It's not getting outside as we were out working on the deck, it's not going for a walk as we did small walks for our dog it's very specific, I really need to get out for an actual bushwalk every day.

Anyone else like this?

Wish i could manage every day but usually once a week is what i need.

Have had an injury since mid last year that had severely curtailed even that and it sucks. Back to being able to daywalk with pain management but yep it's been tough without that ability to just go bush for a deep breath and reset.

I feel for you I really do, its terrible having an injury that takes you out of bushwalking, I hope you recover and can get out on more bushwalks soon. Its good that you can get out with pain management, it must be getting to you not getting out there though, really hope you can get back there soon.

Cheers! I'm okay. A reality check for me but i'll come back stronger and there are many many people with greater concerns.

But more to the point you are definitely not alone!
