setting aside 15 to 30 min a day just to walk around the block. Iβve added it to my routine a few weeks ago and have not been able to go the past week bc I was sick. Itβs actually making me so depressed. I want the oxygen. Best time to listen to an audiobook, the same song over and over again or a new album front to back.
