Meditation sounds good, yoga, Pilates, swimming are all good in my experience- they focus your brain on the action and can calm thoughts . Focusing on the breathe is good too.

It's funny... in my head I know I agree and want to start exercising again, but my body and emotions are screaming no at me. I am so triggered at this stage that even being out in public can be unnerving, especially driving around town thinking I could spot my abusive ex husband any moment. I am finding a sense of safety mostly from inside my home, with some of the curtains drawn.
Guess I am not at that point yet to take that leap.
