My therapist once asked me to imagine my feeling was with me in the room, and to describe its shape and color, whether it was standing or sitting. I had such difficulty with that exercise that I realized I was in my head 99.9% of the time. It's been one of the biggest learning curves of therapy to understand that I also occupy a physical body that influences my inner world.
I never really thought about it as getting out of my head and into my body when doing exercise, but when I journal and read a good novel, I definitely get out my head and into some other space
