Walking Mindfully after work can help you let go of the stress of the day and help you clear your thoughts
Any activity can be done in a Mindful manner, but I found Mindful Walking is another simple enjoyable tool for our toolbox, and it will get you out in thr fresh air and nature which is a known mood booster!
As you walk pay attention to how your body feels, feel your feet on the ground.
With every step notice your foot rise and step
Notice any thoughts that arise and let them go, don’t interact with them, bring focus back to your steps
Is it clear, are there clouds?
Is there water, is it moving or still?
Do you hear wind or sound of cars?
What do you smell?
Look for flowers or birds in trees, by focusing your attention on a particular subject you will begin to notice them more mindfully and are less likely to be distracted.
Walking Mindfully after work can help you let go of the stress of the day and help clear your thoughts. But I don’t want you to take your phone, unless your on call the world can wait until you have nurtured your soul.
Music is great, but try walking without your iPod. Notice your environment and immerse yourself in that.
I want you to get outside beautiful souls and give this a try, off you go . Have a lovely day.
