I hate to exercise but I've tried the beginners yoga from the cable co. on TV.. It is relaxing but I never know if I'm doing it right, cause I'm the only one here. So I listen to the different music channels the cable co offers, currently I'm into True Country which is 80's & 90's music.. It's turned up loud (stereo hooked up to TV)
and I dance.. but not like your'e on a dance floor. I dance like stretching exercises and and few dance steps. Very good to stretch my muscles and it's fun too. Oh almost forgot I'm new here.. came for the mood tracker and I think the med reminder is great! Peace, feather

When I'm hypomanic I only do strenuous exercise in the early am. And as you've stated calming stretching exercises are best to quiet rather than excite the mind later in the day. It is agonizing to exhaust the body but then the brain refuses to let it rest!

(Psalm 94:19) . . .When my disquieting thoughts became many inside of me, Your own consolations began to fondle my soul.

I've exercised my entire life, I love it , I think when I'm doing that I don't feel as if I'm sick at all, I guess because it's physical and keeps me engaged, unlike my mind with fragments of thoughts when I'm sitting still, or my feelings that can seem very undefinable to me when I'm near people, and my lack of word expression in given moments. I'm one of those people who thinks about what I would like to say about 24 hours later! It can make one feel shut in and all by theirself. And all alone .... Again thanks be to God for body art!
