Pacing

Many people pace when they are anxious because moving helps them relieve stress. Some people don’t even realize why they are doing it. I don’t pace because I’m nervous. I pace because I like it.

When I pace I like to think about things that make me happy, but I won’t say what it is because it feels better for it be my own private thing. I put my headphones on so I can walk around and listen to music, but it feels awkward if someone is watching me. That’s why I only do it when no one is home or I’m in my room. I also wait for when someone is going into another room and won’t be back for a while. 

I think I might pace sometimes when I’m nervous because I want to take a break from the stress of life by going to my happy place. It reminds me that things will okay even if they don’t seem that way.

Sometimes pacing works when I’m bored and other times it doesn’t. It either kills time or makes me tired. I feel good when I pace for fun and that’s why I do it almost every day. I look forward to when I can do it again.
