Been logging sleep, screen time, and whatever triggers the anxious spiral since I started, and nothing’s lined up the way I expected yet.
Hiking is my non-laptop thing on weekends, especially with this cert exam looming, but I keep pushing the pace on the way up like I’m trying to outrun the thoughts instead of just walking. I come back down more wound up than when I left, neck and shoulders still locked up from being hunched over a keyboard all week.
Anyone else turn hiking into another thing to perform at instead of decompressing, and does slowing down on purpose actually help with the anxious energy?
