Bike Riding Helps My Anxiety & My Mental Health

Getting ready to head out on one of my weekly bike rides, it si another chilly morning. I have anxiety with being around alot of people, restaurants, and driving etc. To be in an area or situation I cannot remove myself from quickly makes my anxiety kick in! I believe it stems from the abuse I suffered by my dad and the fact that as a child I could not leave the situation or make it stop. I could leave my home as a child and never come back, I was stuck there and totally not in control! That is a horrible feeling to have constantly, especially as a child. So I have found that going bike riding by myself mostly, is something I can control, away from it all, its quiet, I can go whereever and however fast I want. I am not bothered by devices and can hear, smell, see nature! I ride at times and will get a memory smell of nature and have a healing moment is how I can explain it. I love it, you should try riding, it is healing in many ways and healthy for mental and physical body.
