Make the bed—done.

Put all the dishes away—done.

Write a page—done.

Mow the lawn—done.

I haven’t been out for a run in far too long, and I’ve been beating myself up about it lately. But I’ve also noticed that as stress-relief goes, having some physical evidence that follows the effort, some clear visual feedback that I’ve accomplished something, is sometimes just as good. Seeing is believing.
