  • Agreed. I can find it hard but I try to not use headphones to listen to music or an audiobook every time I go for a walk. I’m trying to get myself comfortable with my own thoughts and let them wash over me so my brain can eventually calm and relax without distraction.

    Just let the walk itself be the gentle stimulation.


  • I do love a good walk.

    My two favourite are a beautiful hill/mountain walk in the sun with a light breeze to keep me cool or at night through a sleepy town or village with a light fog where the orange streetlights shine through.

    Both are so peaceful, it helps calm my anxiety.

    It’s great fun especially when you’re trying to work out how fuel efficient your car has been when your tank and fuel pump is in litres and the fuel efficiency is in miles per gallon.

    Oh and you’ll have a jolly time following a recipe from more than 20 years ago trying to remember what the hell “Gas Mark 4” is in centigrade for fan or convection ovens.

    Oh and my personal favourite for the industry I’m in: when designing a PCB your component sizes will use imperial codes, your wire diameters will be in AWG, your track widths and PCB dimensions will be in millimetres, but your copper thicknesses will be in ounces despite the final weight for the assembly will be in grams.
