I personally enjoy taking long walks. It doesn't matter if it's in the woods, on a bike trail, or just through town. There's something nice about just meandering and being alone with your thoughts while still being immersed in the outside world.

It's so, so easy to end up just scrolling through social media - fediverse included - or through youtube or whatever just because it fills your mind with bees so that you don't think about your problems, rather than because it is actually what you'd most like to be doing.

The biggest thing I'm taking from the fracturing of the spaces like reddit and Twitter is to try and break myself out of that fog. Isolation during the pandemic really didn't help those tendencies!
