Q: i've spent basically every bit of time i can in the past few years working on my music, instruments, and mixing as well as getting completely obsessed with video as well. realizing that i will be like this for the foreseeable future (and it keeps getting more obsessive and intense) i feel like i am getting more and more disconnected from reality (whatever that means). while i "know" many people from working on songs and production for other artists, i feel more and more disconnected and unsure of what a friend is and what music even is. this obsession only happened in these past few years, before i had played instruments just because it felt like an obvious thing to do, but without any real intention of making something. people i "used to know" have been very worried about my mental health due to the drastic change over time and how little time i have for anything other than working constantly on art. i find all this extremely hard to explain proper
 ly to so
 meone, and i haven't found anyone that seems like they actually understand what i'm trying to do (i don't know if i do sometimes). the thing im worried about is how i can get myself to take breaks effectively and somehow divert my obsessive attention into something "fun" that is unrelated sometimes. nothing is fun unless im working on a project; everything other than that just feels like a crazy waste of time as well. anyway, do you have any suggestions about learning how to effectively take breaks? i've tried various meditation techniques with little success. the only thing that really seems to work decently is going on a reeaaally long walk, and then i sometimes notice that i haven't had a conscious thought in minutes, and it is both a scary and good feeling at the same time.
A: as long as you are getting enough physical movement, you should be pretty good. it sounds like you know what you're doing
