spring 2025: get outside you cretin, it's been a hot one
doing more with the hands, and less with the head
At this time, I found the inside of my head a somewhat challenging place to be. Anxiety, something we all feel at different times, before a job interview or after reading the news or something. Anxiety is also something constant and warping, and almost a war within. I'm not the first or best person to write on this cloudy and complex experience, though I'd like to be more authentic with myself and to those around me. Anxiety is a part of health and a part of me, I guess. Its grip is potentially constant in my life, and it has come back with a greater strength than in some past years.
So, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO ABOUT IT? My choice has been to get outside. To try and get better at using my body and putting less pressure on my head. 'doing more with the hands, and less with the head'. That has been my goal. Spending more time outside and moving around, taking space to notice the world around me.
