I do all of what RiverRunsDeep mentions.
1) Regular fitness class of some sort - presently it's Wing Tsun Kung Fu - and I hope this will be so for many years more as it's a fascinating subject. (have done yoga, and ballroom and belly dancing - until my knees decided they didn't like it anymore).
2) I'm also a body therapist. I go for regular therapy sessions myself. Crania-sacral with counselling (so I get to chat on a regular basis about whatever stuff I'm dealing with presently), and manual lymphatic drainage massage once monthly.
To the kinesiologist (checks diet and supplementation, stress level with affirmations), osteopath or massage therapist as-and-when, for treatments or treats and check-up.
3) Meditation. I'm not an expert. I have some music that I listen to whilst doing visualisations, or simple breath work exercises. And my latest is colouring books.
Haven't found a satisfactory Tarot colouring book yet. ...The Tarot Lady is bringing one out
in the autumn - I'm waiting for that.
Plus I attempt to emulate my cat daily - lie around just Being and enjoying/being grateful
in the moment.
When things are really tough - I find the easiest thing to stick to is 1) and the cat
- and so even when feeling like death-warmed-up emotionally - I drag myself to these classes. (and the point is to go out - into another environment and talk to different people, so away for a while, from whatever stuff might be going on. Plus you also then find out that you're not alone in dealing with stuff - in some cases a huge perspective aid.).
It's been such a life-saver at times.
As for "It is what it is" - agreed. Shit just happens (pardon me!).
It's us who attach a meaning to it.
I hope you can find your balance Midsummereve.
I find mine goes in cycles - but I have a framework set in place that helps me
manage it all.
