When my mind is whirly over a guy and I just can't get it to quiet down, I take a long, hard walk and talk to myself. (Yeah, people will think you're an odd one as they drive by and see you chatting to yourself.) I call them 'my come to Jesus walks.' The fresh air and exercise clears my mind enough to let me be more honest about the situation. It's damn near impossible to lie to yourself, right? I can feel myself release the sadness and anxiety I feel over the relationship as I walk and talk. It's been amazingly effective and theraputic and if I feel myself whirling again--I hit the bricks.
