Walking outside / exercise is definitely beneficial to your mental (and physical) health. Blender and / or other creative outlets are also a great remedy to stop ruminating thoughts. Once you get into a creative flow and really enjoy what you’re creating, you tend to forget depression and anxiety, which helps to solve those negative patterns of the complex mind. You need to get out of the vicious circle, and the best thing to do to achieve that is doing something that distracts you in a positive way, giving you energy instead of tiring you. Both taking a walk and creating gets you in a state of homeostasis and peace of mind. Also, eat and drink healthy. Unhealthy eating habits, drinking alcohol etc. also worsen depression and anxiety. Last but definitely not least, try to establish a stable sleep rhythm without interruptions. Sleep is essential to mental and physical health, and is disrupted by bad habits and stress.
