“stop and smell the roses” is such a stock phrase
I do notice tho like, in moments of real freedom, one of the things I naturally end up doing is taking really slow, luxurious walks and just enjoying all sensation- wind and sun on my skin, and even the physical sense of balance

short walks stopped doing anything for me and i fell into despair a bit but turns out *long* walks still feel great. i’ve been out here maybe 2 hours and feeling better than i have in weeks but it took like an hour to really get started
21. "One thing I realized was how much better my brain worked during and after a walk (big impact on cerebral bloodflow).
Remember folks, you have to walk your brain like a fucking dog."
