Today was a lot, in a good way.
I just returned from a bike adventure. Cycling is so new for me, and I enjoy how much farther I get even when I am a bit exhausted. Instead of walking around the block, I can get to places that look and feel different than home.
Today, however, was a high energy day, and I ended up 10 km from where I started, and got ice cream there. On the way back, I discovered a very very cute spot with a small pond/lake thingie and almost no people. There were frogs, too.
In the morning, I tried a free pilates lesson in a nearby park. It was my first contact with pilates and it was weird. It felt a bit like yoga purposefully trying not to be chill? Like "ok now you could stay here and breathe but honestly, let's just jump around a bit instead!"
It had a bunch of simple rhythmic movements, and that turned out to work well for me. I felt very, uh, connected to my body or whatever, sometimes. Big contrast to when yoga classes get too fast for me – that usually just stresses me out.
In between everything, I felt rather shitty, unlovable and Universally Hurtful. My adventure stopped that. Experiencing outside things is nice.
