RE: I need to move.

Movement is rewarding, I agree. Well, it produces dopamine, endorphins and the like - which induce feelings of euphoria... and this interacts with the brain to improve mood, reduce stress, etc. So, chemically it makes sense that you feel better for it. But starting that journey can be difficult; finding what exercise best suits you, feeling encourage/motivated enough to start... And then keeping consistent with it - eesh: that's harder still. But the reward! Haha, I can draw similarities with your notes about being a "feeling type" of person. I think "present emotional riptides" can be channelled through movement, which makes movement essential to people who wear their hearts on their sleeves - don't you think? Being aware of how you're feeling can help with deciding what form of movement to take up - from strenuous exercises to more moderate meditations.

What about you? How do you breathe when breathing don't come natural?

For me...when breathing doesn't come naturally, I'm drawn to cycling... because it takes you down roads less travelled, and is a long, slow sport that requires a lot of patience and endurance. And, weirdly, if this makes sense, there's something very structural about being on a bike - it's really empowering to shift gears on the uphill and speed on the down - the physics of it! - and getting your hands dirty with the maintenance... is fun. Altogether, cycling has become my means of meditation. I did try yoga, and wasn't so taken with it. But everyone's different! And isn't that a nice thing? Oh, talking about yoga and meditation... have you ever heard about YouTube's "Yoga with Adrienne"?

I've been teased for turning comments, into posts; considering that our words are our "voice"... Only makes sense... Yes? Good to see communication... I've not seen "Yoga with Adrienne"... But I love the Wiez...

Yes, it is a wonderful thing that we're all different! I'm glad you found something that works for you in that way ('cause it doesn't always come easy). I'ma bit haywire on a bike, I admit :D And yes, I think I started out with Adriene many moons ago 😄
