My friend and I went on a five hour hike today. I had a great time hiking, but I think I enjoyed getting home and sitting down almost as much. The feeling of all of my sore muscles melting as my whole body sighed with relief was fantastic.
Same here and precisely why this kind of thing is the first best thing at helping you out when you’re feeling down.
Yeah! It definitely comes with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. I like it, too.
Absolutely, there’s nothing like that feeling. I learned it being a scout, it’s as if the tiredness was the physical proof that you’ve accomplished something.
Yes! Often, if I’m feeling pent up anxiety, it’s because I’ve spent too long being inactive. Doing something strenuous, whether it be an fun active excursion, or just some chores around the house to the point of exhaustion, eases my mind. Movement is so important for mental health.
It’s why I prefer manual labour to other kinds of jobs.
I feel good doing it. And generally being able to see my progression in effect and then the finished product can be very satisfying.
