Chapter 34: Take a walk every day
“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”
Henry David Thoreau
Whenever possible, go out and spend time around nature. Take a walk and
connect with it. Watch a sunset or a sunrise. If you are going for a run or a walk
in the mornings you’ll surely say that Henry David Thoreau is right!
Our rhythm of life has become so fast and so stressful that taking some time and
walking through the woods can bring you down to earth and provide you with
deep relaxation. Listen to the silence and enjoy it. Taking a walk is a great way
to reenergize your body and your mind
. A new Stanford study that just came
out concludes that walking improves your creative thinking.
When my wife
had a hard time at work and was on the edge of burning out we started taking
long walks for an hour and a half each day. That helped her to disconnect from
her stressful workday, forget her anger of the day, and talk about and analyze her
emotions. Due to this activity she also fell asleep easier and had a better and
more refreshing sleep at night. After only a week she felt a lot better! Another
advantage of the long walks what that she got tired, lowered her guard, and even
started listening to what her husband had to say …
