I've been feeling so anxious and compulsive lately that I'm trying to arrange my life to be a little more pro-mental health. I feel like I'm getting OCD or something, my baseline anxiety is at such a sky high that I don't know what to do with myself when I'm not working. I feel I have to totally cram my free time with fun so much that it isn't fun. I have to like, read a comic, cook, and watch Xena all at the same time just to keep myself interested.

My goals include:
1) Walking to places that are in walking distance instead of driving
2) Walking/Running every day
3) Listening to music every day

I just started today, and I'm still feeling anxious, but I think it'll be helpful in the long run. I went for a run to Walgreens this morning while listening to Bjork (baby steps) and a walk in the woods tonight. I was just walking around listening to music but when I went into the woods (a path near the Charles River) I found I didn't need headphones anymore and just enjoyed myself. I felt like a kid again, I used to love walking in the woods.
