This is literally the only way that has worked for my body and mind in a healthy way — be a little silly with your friends, hone a skill (like kicking or shooting or hitting a ball with a stick) and the running is just along for the ride (also good that you get a little sprint and a jog in and can sometimes be exercising for like 2 hours without even thinking about it)
you can try variety of sports while being solo honestly:
- cycling (the best thing to do with music on, morning tours are the best)
- walking
- running
- swimming (free swim and you will barely feel time + swim helps you build muscles everywhere without a “sweat“)
- martial art club
- dance
or any physical activity. let your brain get deprived of oxygen, let your thoughts wander, let your focus reduce only to "keep moving." Often cures my funks and headaches
All my friends are great and I love to hang out with them and feel loved & to be silly, and when they hang out and get along I'm like damn I’m really killing having a rich social circle and deeply fulfilling friendships. If you’re a reflection of your three closest friends (or whatever that saying is) I’m a god damn god. My friends are the best and I love them SO MUCH
