I find going out for the day, alone or with company, is a great way to get some exercise for the body while relaxing the brain.And on those days where I'm feeling down the best cure is to pop down to my local reserve and sit in the hide. There's very rarely anything of great interest but just staring out and letting my mind go blank really helps. Normally I find my subconcious has been working away and things often seem much clearer when I finally pop back to reality.</blockquote>
