Hi @louissc
I've read that regular physical activity may help improve seizure threshold — that could help explain why exercising outdoors makes you feel good, even when it's hot outside.
You mentioned needing to feel that "zen," alone time. I have moments in my day when I need to be alone, just with myself — I've always had that, even before epilepsy was diagnosed, but today I may need more of that time for myself, especially when I need to reflect on certain things or when stress hits me. Yoga is one of the tools I use to connect with my inner self.
Sorry — I see now I wasn't clear with the word "mask." I meant it figuratively, like putting on a brave face.
Coming back to that: do you think always having to put on a brave face is one of your triggers, or is it more the anxiety of rushing to be somewhere on time — like waiting for a cab on a hot day?
