Honestly it's a necessity at times. Though I found certain activities elicit the same "thoughtlessness" that I get when I meditatw such as motorcycling. No time to think about anything else but the road and the bike, making it ironically one of the most relaxing activities I do.
Sometimes when i feel overwhelmed by sadness (or some other paintful fealing, I ride my bycycle the next night instead of sleeping (at night to avoid daytime sounds, light and people). So I can process my feelings in peace. People I mention this to usually accuse me of being intentionaly weird.
Have heard this countless times. Good that you found this for yourself. :)
Yeah, I say the same about my onewheel. Step on it, instant free head - a complete anti depression machine
