    Go to gym

    Pick up heavy disc

    Brain turn off

    Realize that I can chose to stop rethinking the thoughts I’ve already thought and replanning the things I’ve already planned.

    Find that that’s WAY harder when I’m not physically active.

    Get healthy mentally AND physically

      This is why i like to do yoga for a similar meditative effect. Its easier to clear my mind when holding a position and the positions help promote long even breaths which help achieve a calm mental state.

      I can see that. My favorite way to meditate is doing a long run. One foot in front of the other for 2-3 hours will do wonders for unraveling worries or complex problems.
