A Simple Nature Walk Exercise
Want more energy, fitness, happiness, mindfulness and get everything done?
Have you ever wondered how to fit everything you want for yourself into your schedule? Meditate, get fit, be healthy, feel happy and have the energy you need? Oh, and, finish all your personal and professional responsibilities. This is our challenge.
A way to tackle this reality is to add a nature walk into your weekly routine — anyplace outdoors will do as long as you can feel safe, enjoy greenery, hear nature sounds (birds, wind, insects, etc), smell scents in the air and experience the elements. You may be thinking, “How can doing something more, give me more time?” I invite you to please try it for the benefits, at least once. Then, you decide.
WHY DO NATURE WALKS WORK?
Time in nature helps you get out of your head and into your body. Being present with your senses boosts mindfulness, a valuable meditation skill. A short walk, even 5 or 10 minutes, increases circulation and energy and improves health and fitness. Moving more, being outside, cultivating presence, savoring nature’s beauty, appreciating your physical abilities — all these activities amplify happiness. Being happy lifts energy and creates positivity.
