Exercise is definitely a good “try this first” for mental health, but at the same time, no amount of jogging is going to fix something you need medication or therapy for, or the fact that you exist in a capitalist hellscape.
Remember when that actually happened? There’s been so much bullshit since 2021 that I completely forgot about that time we set our ocean on fire until you mentioned it just now.
…but you’re not wrong, it is beautiful in its own terrifying kind of way.
It’s certainly not going to be a cure all, but it is a part of many aspects that can help improve our mental health. A therapist may encourage clients to engage in activities that are generally healthy, such as regular exercise (perhaps a short walk, just to have some outside time and a break from whatever mental spiral may be taking place).
Our problems don’t always solve themselves in one hour sessions, it’s also about what we do outside of the sessions to try and supplement our journey towards better mental health. Not to mention, in a capitalist hellscape, many don’t have the time or finances for therapy or medicines. And a walk is sort of free. Why not?

But the lakes of fire are so pretty
