to maintain some smidgeon of regularity in your otherwise frenetic life, what is it? For me, I'm trying to walk/run every day. Not only is it great exercise but more importantly, I find I'm able to tap into a vast reservoir of thought that otherwise remains inaccesible to me. When I come home, I'm a new man again, I just want that feeling to last forever. It gets me through most of the morning, then it's back to square one. But for a few hours, I feel alive again and it's wonderful. At the moment I'm contemplating a second run about mid-afternoon.

Naturally, being the good bp that I am, I went out and bought a pedometer and a new g-shock to police these great walks of mine so yes, I'm definitely timing myself. However when I do allow myself to slow down to sub-Kenyan pace, the woods this time of year, in the northeast, are spectacular, a mosaic of color, and partridge are everywhere. So lovely to have "fresh eyes" again.
Thanks for this!

I have made some playlists for my iPod to tap into when I need to calm down.

I also have sleeping tabs. When I just cannot cope - I sleep. Naturally, try and stick to a regular sleeping pattern
Thanks for this!

I started going to yoga, and I am working on being present or mindful. I walk everyday as I don't drive and I know what you mean. If I don't get out for a walk it really effects my mood.
Thanks for this!

I exercise everyday. I recently started swimming instead of running and have found it to be a really enjoyable experience. The exercise really helps my moods, it's the motivation part that is difficult at times.

Go hunting. Even if its not serious, just taking the bow or gun for a walk does wonders to clear my mind
