Walk and Let Your Mind Heal
We make a healthy life harder than it has to be
Just walk!
Get up, get out and just walk.
No headphones, no phones, no step counting devices beeping on your wrist; just you walking along a peaceful street, or wooded trail, being present in your own life.
Try for an hour. Today, you don’t need to carry anything heavy, worry about intensity, worry about pace, or worry about the calorie count; just walk and enjoy the moment lost in your own thoughts.
Just walk, and use the time as quiet meditation, or think about your next big change in life, or just reflect on everything good in life, or use the walk as a quiet time for prayer if you are that person. No music, no distractions; just you thinking about life for an hour and moving gently along the road.
We sometimes make exercise too much of a big thing, when just an hour walk may do more to heal the body, and especially repair the soul. You do not need high intensity soul crushing workouts to get into better health… you just need to move most days and for most of the world you spending an hour cruising along a path captured in the moment does more to get you healthy than any membership at a cheap gym could ever do for you.
Just walk, and let the world fade…
