Disappointed? Frustrated? Angry? Loss of hope? Step outside. Go for a walk. Surround yourself in green. Seek nature.
Find a path, trail, park removed from concrete, cars and buildings. Walk. Just walk, at an easy pace. Breathe slowly. If your mind starts to drift with the thoughts that got you there, bring your focus to one thing; your pace, your breathing or my favorite, just taking in the natural beauty, as the landscape changes. Walk as long or as little as you want. I often walk until I have found inner peace and tranquility. The more I walk, the more my mind and body are trained to experience this transformation to peace. Here’s another benefit. Depending on the challenge that you are struggling with and how long you’ve been walking in nature, you are often rewarded by finding clarity.
So, here’s my challenge to you. Walk today, even if for 5min. Then, write a comment below about your experience or your alternative to walking. I want to hear from you!
