Walking and yardwork are amazing coping mechanisms for me. Lots of time to think. There is nothing like getting wrapped up in physical activity to burn out the stress. Even though I usually don't want to do it before I do, I feel much better after. I think the stress of this situation gave me the adrenalin to get started.
I think it is just that by doing things like that, it makes you focus on YOU. That is the positive that I get from it I think. And my yard looks good
