When the weight of it all bears down like the load of atlas, what allows you to breathe?

Is there some task you do to set your mind right?
Some place you go to in order to let the wisdom of the silent ages speak to your weary soul?

A moronic, menial repetition, meaningless to the masses, that soothes you and removes that heavy yoke from your shoulders, if only for a little while?

I have a few strategies.

I really like to do something physical. Going for a run or just shooting some hoops is a great outlet for me. Just turn the ol noggin off for a while and just run or shoot

I also like to watch an episode or two of a favorite show in which I can really wrap myself into the story. The Office is a popular choice. Also, How It's Made is great for it

Music is a great way too, usually because you can find something that goes with any mood. I usually pair this with playing MLB the show. I can wrap myself in the game and the music, allows me to leave reality for a bit

Lastly, especially if I am trying to get to sleep, I play an audiobook with all the lights and TV off. I cannot tell you how many times I have listened through the Harry Potter audiobooks done by Jim Dale. I let myself just listen and fall into the story and watch it unfold in my head. Before I know it I am relaxed and eventually asleep before I know it.

exercise in any way is the best way to clear my mind. it doesnt necessarily put me in a good mood but it keeps me from getting in a bad mood which is good enough for me

You ever find that how you clear your mind is how some of the best ideas come about?

Above all else, running. I'm in no way a runner which is probably why the effect is so strong. Nothing changes a negative mood for me as quickly and effectively as a quick run. Granted if I'm angry there usually isn't pussy involved or that would be the medicine.

fapping absolutely does. It is great for stress relief and mood improvement

exercise is a popular answer because it allows for the release of endorphins, which are responsible for feeling happy and content

but I won't get too deep in the science of it
