Where I find my sanity and recharge
In the are I live in we have public parks that range from the majority of being neighborhood parks (playgrounds, basketball court, etc..) to expansive acreage filled with hiking trails, fishing spots, and even horse trails. We even have a historic Civil War site that has hiking trails that have displays detailing how both sides used the terrain in constructing their holdout and forts. Between work, school, and home life, going to these places clears my head. Everyone around me calls me insane and I'm too accident prone for it. Ive only gotten hurt once (snake slithered between my feet and I took off running). Theres something about being out there, it's more likely bc I'm focusing on my feet more lol. Being out there allows me to think only of the present and what I have to get done. I'm mentally scheduling my days for homework, personal stuff, household duties, normal stuff other than work. It recharges me and slows my mind down bc its usually going in a million different directions at once.
