I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
A shower might help.
Also dancing.
Try copying a page out of a book backwards with your wrong hand.
You don't have to feel like doing any of those things, but just doing them might help jar you out of your cycle of thoughts.
Something immediate for me is to get into nature alone. Sit in a field, near water, backyard. Somewhere you can sit and chillax. Or sometimes I go into a dark room, pray or meditate.
It would be important that you are eating good and sleeping enough too--keep your mind fed in that respect.
Sometimes, I will go to this puppy store and hold all the puppies. Or a library and read something not to heavy.
I guess it depends on what makes you happy, calm and relaxed...
Sometimes it takes meas long as three days to get out of the fog...
The best to you...
