LJ IDOL - "RUN, DON'T WALK"

[islandman]

Constant thought rarely allows a man to resolve his concerns. For without rest, without a chance to step back, that moment of clarity remains tangled in the edges of his brain.  As it weaves its way through the left hemisphere, into the cerebellum, and down the spinal cord, it gets lost in the undulations and curves of the miles of brain tissue

This is why I would walk when my brain tied itself into knots ... it's freeing.

[islandman]

Whether walking or running..it really is freeing. Thanks for reading :)

This made me want to run- and I'm a fat middle-aged woman who can barely walk two miles, so that's power!

[islandman]

lol. glad it was at least encouraging! Thanks for the nice comments! :)

I agree that exercise is a great way to get focused. For me, it's walking my dog.

[islandman]

It really is great...I am a much more enjoyable person to be around after I've had the chance to exercise. lol.

[battle_kitten]

I love the way that exercise can do that, and running is definitely the best. Nice take on the topic and well written too :)

[islandman]

Thanks so much. Yeah, I go crazy if I go even a couple days without exercising. lol

I'm struggling with that whole constant thought process these days, too... I've been reading The Power Of Now, which talks about quieting that inner voice to get to your internal peace, but, yeah, it's not easiest thing.

I've heard of that book several times...maybe I will check it out of the library one of these days. It really is frustrating have your mind going all the time with no 'off' button...
