A walk, bicycle or motorcycle ride works wonders for me. It keeps me just busy enough to consider my thoughts one by one.

When I go on long motorcycle trips, I come back with this incredible feeling of clarity and inner peace.

Motorcycling is also my go to activity to disconnect my brain from almost all "chatter". It's just the road, the bike and you. As soon as you are an somewhat experienced driver and you can drive "fairly" safe in sailing/flow/cruise mode it's pretty incredible. It's just engaging enough that it feeds the brain with mental work, but does not leave any more room for unimportant "garbage". Took me around three years (around 30.000km) to get to this point.
