It is only when I am in agressive persuit of a goal that I am at peace. I need direction and I have been lacking that for over 3 months, but I think I have finally found something that will occupy my mind. This was like a perfect storm for me. I went into a funk and then changed jobs and I am bored in my new position. I need to be overwhelmed at work.
First, good for you for getting back on track.
I've never really been that "out of control" but when I do I usually go for a run outside and it just makes me feel better. Anything outdoors tends to relax me and put me at ease. It's my own meditation.
When I'm alone and life is making me lonely I can always go downtown. When I've got worries, all the noise and the hurry seems to help, I know, downtown.
