In a Rut? Just Can't  Think of Any Ideas or Feel Overwhelmed?  What Do You Do?

When I hit that mental brick wall, and just feel like I am struggling with focusing and start bouncing around looking at different social media platforms looking for something to free my mind up (but its just doom scrolling). I stop, walk away from the screen, and do something physical, and give the brain a break. For me, that is hit the weights, do some cardio, get that heart pumping, and get a great workout in.

It works wonders, when in a rut, I can just focus on working out, tire out the muscles just completely focus on pushing to failure, and then go and have a delicious, healthy post workout meal. Its my reset button, my head clears up, all those overwhelming thoughts are gone and it gets me back on track.

I use this as my way to reset mentally, and not only clears my mind out I am benefitting from the exercise. It is such a great stress relief. What do you all do to just reset during this online business journey?
