Video games work for me in getting my mind to let go of the problems it's pondering about. Sometimes it's like subconscious I'm always working on some problem.

Video games work for me in getting my mind to let go of the problems it's pondering about. Sometimes it's like subconscious I'm always working on some problem. Videogames at least let me forget/drown-out certain 'work'-like problems and allow me to reward myself instead with 'fun' problems. Walking often just leaves my senses empty and causes my mind to focus on the work problems again. Maybe a hike would be different as you are more exploring something new to keep your mind occupied.
