Swimming

I have been swimming lately. I am not sure what happens to me psycho-emotionally when I swim. There is something about being in a completely different environment that resets my whole human self.

There is something about using most of the muscle groups of the body.

There is something about feeling like I am a 9 year old who is diving down to the bottom of the pool.

There is the complete change of space, the way you can move differently, how tired you feel after.

There is something about going at the end of the day after I have felt stressed and in so many new situations.

I felt that way last night. I realized it was the thing I needed. There is a pool near my apartment where I used to go swim with a friend fairly frequently last year. I went again. It was such a wonderful escape.
