Honestly when I’m out solo hiking deep in the woods that’s where it happens the most for me.
It’s bliss when I can lay there with silence in my mind while watching clouds float by.
I really need to go hiking again.
Of course we Germans have a word for that, here you go 💖

Cycling does this for me sometimes. Highly recommended.
Somewhere I’ve read that it takes at least 45 minutes to mentally detach from work. For me, that usually just means having different thoughts, but to stop all thoughts, I’ll have to exercise my body rather furiously.
I call it a “perfect moment” and I try to make a mental note when ever I experience one so that I’ll be more likely to notice the next time it happens. It’s most often in the nature for me as well.
That’s how I feel swimming. Best part of summer.
That’s the reason why I loved semi-blacking out while stretching. This stopped happening after puberty, but it was always a short enjoyable moment of silence and absence of worries. I kind of miss it.
People can’t just turn it off? Seriously here. If I don’t want thoughts in my head, I just… don’t have them.
That’s so unfair :(
