sorry you’re going through it. when the mind isn't doing well all you can do is move your body - sitting/sulking can make it worse. just do aimless walks, stretching, basically pretend you‘re at a spa resort and it’s only your only job atm is wellness
Not necessarily adding extra movement but being intentional and present whenever I’m using my body. Walking up a hill? I’ll consciously align my heels under my shoulders. Lifting a case of wine? Hit that squat deep and lift solely with my legs. Sitting on couch brainrotting? Adjust that spine and reach the top of the head to the ceiling. Resting my hand on my husbands soft curls? Turn that into a scalp massage. If you’re struggling with being active, focus on getting the most out of what you do every day before adding in extra movement. Master your daily rhythm and use every opportunity you can to connect your mind to your muscles, you will automatically be less anxious, more present, and far less likely to hurt yourself.

Movement is medicine!!!!
take a moment to identify which bit of the body is holding the most anxiety, and then massage or hold or rub that spot for a while. for me it's usually my arms, and rubbing them like i'm trying 2 warm up helps so so much. also just finding physical ways 2 release the energy that might have built up - singing, dancing, gently tapping your temples, rolling around in bed & kicking all ur limbs around the place....... good @ tiring you out 2 if you're aiming 2 get 2 sleep soon!!!
promotes positivity
pro tip, dreams don’t always make sense - so when weird/bad stuff happens, you can shrug it off and be like wow what a weird dream bro 🤷
