I got a lot of that “so mature for your age” commentary too! Funny how looking back I’m like, yeah, that’s why I’m looking for a therapist now…. And I’m also working out again for the same reason! I hate it, but stupid exercise is good for my stupid mental health 😅
My therapist said that the act of "pushing" can really help, and she suggested I pay attention to the intensity of my dribbling at the start compared to the end because yeah, it softens lol. She says that's why she'll often suggest pushups, bench press (consult with doctor etc) specifically.
I hadn't heard that but at the same time I sorta get it!
Oh interesting! I’m very very casually learning Muay Thai basics and the kicking and punching has been very cathartic. I especially like kicking things. Dribbling is very satisfying, I never really thought of how you’re pushing the ball, but she’s totally right.
Maybe I should get a basketball so I can dribble it when my anxiety spikes 🤔
I mean, it's helps *me* but I'm also someone that can happily dust off some old Michael Jordan montage video on Youtube and go "ah man some great memories as a teen" hahahaha
Hey, we all have things we love, and MJ was the GOAT.
💪🤘
