Running

Here's a short observation about running (that I had a couple of days ago).

Running is nice for many reasons (it's good exercise, you get to see interesting things, you can get back in touch with reality, etc), but I particularly enjoy the way it helps my mind jump out of whatever mindset it was locked into earlier. When I go running, it's like I hit "reset" on my mind (especially when my mind has been very busy or tied up thinking about work). By the end, it seems to naturally emerge into this meditative happiness. It's quite nice.

I think the best analogy is that it "shakes off" all of the thoughts that were weighing me down all day, and allows the peace that's lying underneath that dusty web of thoughts to emerge.
