- Getting our blood pumping and endorphins flowing to our brains, which on a purely physiological level can make us happier and more positive.
- Getting outdoors and experiencing the sun, fresh air, and other benefits that come from stepping outside instead of staying indoors all day.
- Getting out of our everyday situation can give us new perspective on our problems, and a new way of thinking.
- Getting outside can also allow us to take a break from the stressors of the world, and focus on cultivating a positive mindset.
- It is a great opportunity to practice mindfulness and slowing down our busy minds.
- It allows us to notice the beautiful aspects of our world, and practice gratefulness for every good thing in our world and our life.
- It makes us feel connected to nature and to the world as a whole, putting perspective in out lives and compassion for the world around us.
Walking allows these and many other benefits, and only takes a few minutes out of our day to accomplish. Heres what you can do:
- Set aside time in your day to walk with no distractions.
- Walk slowly and purposefully.
- Try to focus on:
- Your breathe
- The feel of your body as it moves
- How your feet feel against the ground
- The sights you see, things you hear, things you smell.
- All beautiful things you pass
- Try not to focus on your life or problems. Do not think of the past or the future. Slow and clear your mind and focus on right now.
Practicing this act of self-care everyday, or even a couple of times a week, can help you to reconnect with your authentic self and put perspective on the rest of your busy life. It can make you feel more grounded and capable of tackling whatever the day has in store for you.
I hope that this practice can help you all to feel more grounded and positive in the days to come.
Thanks for reading lovelies!
