Running is meditative for me and without it I feel horribly depressed. I get in the zone and am able to work through so many different emotions that I can't otherwise access when I'm not running. The workout itself isn't super enjoyable, but the runner's high and the rest of my day are so much better if I get my run in.
you don't run every day, do you?
I would if I could, but my body doesn't like that. Usually do 3-4 times per week and try to cross train on my off days. I lift but I don't get that same meditative feeling. Cycling is close but still not quite the same.
