After a long day, my favorite way to unwind is by going running. Not exactly the most relaxing activity, granted, but I always imagine I'm sweating out all the things weighing on my mind.

Breathe through your movements.

The problem with the treadmill is I just don't know what to do in my head. You either stare at the mirror or concentrate on the TV. It makes me ill because I can't relax on a treadmill.

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.

I've got so many ideas, and sometimes the more exhausted my body gets, the more active my mind gets.

I walk a lot. It keeps me in shape and clears my head.

My mind is always racing, and always going and always working, and it's a gift and a curse.

I've got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I'm doing stuff and I don't know how to stop or slow down.

Nothing clears my head and puts things in perspective quite like a long, hard run.

I have a couple of things I do to clear my head when I need it. The first is exercise, the kind of exercise that makes me lie on the floor afterward gasping for breath and wonder if I'm actually going to be able to breathe enough to not die. The other one is playing music.
