In the last couple weeks I've been doing a mid-day workout... Which for me is a weighted-vest walk/light jog with an audiobook. Basically taking my audiobook/podcast habit and making it more of a workout.

The break is nice, and the exercise definitely helps my brain health and gives clarity.

Yay!

Habits are hard to form, even when I had the idea to take on this routine, the vest sat around unused for several weeks before I truly kicked it in, but now I feel like I'm over the hump and really enjoying making time for it.

No approach/routine works for everyone, but I do think exercise really is about the best thing one can do with any number of feelings of stress, anxiety, etc.

I agree, I need to build a replacement for the weekly parkrun as that made such a difference the last year but it won't start again any time soon I expect
