Engaging in self-generated motion, like walking or jogging outside, can inhibit anxiety by reducing the activity of the threat reflex in the brain.

Self-generated optic flow, such as walking or running, can shift the brain into a relaxed state that is not achieved when stationary. This movement helps calm the brain circuits involved in threat detection, which is beneficial for managing stress and anxiety.

Going for walks in natural settings can be cognitively restorative, helping to alleviate stress and improve emotional well-being.

A mental walk, where you visualize detailed actions, can distract your mind and help you fall back asleep more easily.

Journaling can help expunge anxieties and stresses, even if it's just a walk where you think about your feelings.

Regular exercise helps reset the nervous system and can facilitate entry into flow by reducing stress hormones and enhancing mental clarity.

Walking meditations allow you to practice being relaxed and present in your daily life, reinforcing positive emotional states.

Action is the antidote to anxiety; once you take action, the fear and what-ifs in your mind disappear.

Sitting for prolonged periods can increase anxiety, making movement essential for mental well-being.
