In every difficult transitional time in my life, walking has kind of saved me. When I first moved back to New York and would get bursting out of my skin anxious, I would get a chamomile tea and go for a long walk in Greenwood cemetery. I am super pro cemetery, because they’re quiet and beautiful and kinda sacred. When I was in treatment I spent like 50% of my time in the woods, and I really think they somewhat healed me. And if you’re not in a place where you’re necessarily wanting to just listen to your own thoughts, there are audiobooks and podcasts and music (I got so into making walking playlists; I’m linking to one bc idk what else to link to.) I know this doesn’t address the job/money side of things, but in transitions I always need something grounding. And it’s worth remembering that the world is still there and that the trees and the creatures are just kinda going about their business. Idk if this is helpful, everything for me kinda comes back to my brain bc my brain can really be my enemy. Solidarity; everyone I know in the industry is struggling rn <3
