For exercise I do traditional boxing 3 times a week with a trainer - its expensive but I know I wouldn't exercise if I didn't have someone telling me what to do. I consider it an investment in myself/part of my treatment. It's the hardest thing I've ever done and it's changed my life in so many awesome ways.

I do this meditation method called "Centering Prayer" - it's basically a mantra based meditation. Or sometimes when I am really spacey or feeling scattered, I just sit and visualize my body as a tree with roots going down deep in the earth. If something at work frazzled me, I go to the bathroom and do that visualization for a few min. Visualizing this really helps calm me down. :-)
