The Anxious 32-year-old Whisperer

I’m not sure where this show would be popular, but I’m thinking it would have a limited audience, more of a niche thing.

Anyway, the main point is that if you ever have seen an episode of the Dog Whisperer where he has a very anxious dog, he always ask the owners how often they walk and exercise their dog. Most of the time the answer is not many.

I’m like those dogs.

As I’ve been trying to find a more peaceful every day existence since all my little palpitation business, I have realized that regular exercise makes such a huge difference for me. The past few weeks riding my bike daily again I really felt calm and relaxed.

However, I don’t have my bike right now. Friday my right side just hurt, so whatever. Saturday I had a very relaxing day having fun. Sunday Carrie came back home from her trip, and all was good. But Sunday night… I started feeling anxious. The crazy thing is, I don’t know even know about what I was feeling anxious. But I could tell.

Bottom line, I think I need the exercise. It tires me out some, helps me to release nervous energy, helps me to quiet my mind. Well, at least somewhat. If you think I talk a lot in person, you should hear what goes on my head. Sheesh.

Needless to say, I am looking forward to getting my bike back tomorrow. I know I could go run, or workout at the gym or whatever, but those aren’t as fun to me as riding my bike. That’s the great thing, I find it fun and enjoyable, and it helps to me calm and peaceful. All in all, it’s not a bad way to keep things in check and to keep me worry-free.
