4. Try playing golf

Seriously.

Take some lesson and walk a golf course. You'll get away from the media-saturation of our society and you'll be surrounded by beautiful nature. The walk is at least 4-5 miles, you'll meet interesting people and your focus will primarily be on your next shot.

It's always astounding to me that the 4 hours or so it takes to play a round take me out of all the issues in life. All that seems to matter is where the little white ball is going.

Inevitably, reality returns when you get back to the parking lot. But for those few hours, I don't think about Trump, our country, work or any other troubles in my life.
