This week I was getting stressed out about my exams that I had coming up and was thinking of ways to decompress. I thought back to what I would do when I needed to clear my head in high school and remembered the scenic drives I would take down Ocean Ave, a road that is right on the ocean for miles. So I got in my car and drove around towards the golf course. I continued that way until I was driving past houses surrounded by large fields. It was a different type of scenery then I used to look at but it began to relax me. Music was also a major part of the drive I chose Tame Impala’s new album and enjoyed the views.
Afterwards I felt much more relaxed about my impending exams and ready to get back to work. The drives are something I forgot about and I would do with friends before lacrosse games to get hype or alone to think. I will begin to reincorporate this when I need to clear my head and get motivated to do something.
