PSA: My sister told me my unwind walk was just me stomping around mad
Last month my sister stayed with us in Boise and after a rough Tuesday I did my usual loop around the block to cool off, and she asked me why I was walking like I was going to fight the sidewalk. She said I was taking fast angry steps with my shoulders up by my ears, which is the opposite of unwinding. Now I leave my phone on the counter and do a slow lap with my hands in my pockets and I actually come back calm instead of more worked up. It sounds dumb but counting my breaths to 20 on the way out made a real difference. Has anyone else had someone call out their cool down routine like that?
