22: A Wall and A Ball
This isn't about exercise, nor fresh air. But it is about getting re-grounded. Overload, mixed and multiple priorities push the brain very easily into fight or flight mode.
Re-assure it with some simple, easy rhythm. Bounce after bounce. Meditative. Flow state. Breathing calming. Higher brain knowing what to do.
Think Steve McQueen (once again) in the cooler.
Get the ball now. Identify the wall. Soon.
