Take a Walk

Walking, it’s one of the simplest things you can do to stay in shape; however there is so much more to a walk then just the act.  If you allow yourself more awareness of your surroundings you can discover a whole new world around you.  I see so many of my fellow walkers, ear buds in the ears and looking down as they trek through their 10,000 steps a day.  They are missing the special things that make nature so amazing!  I know, you just don’t have time, you have a lot on your mind, you have your goal and you just want to get it done.  However, maybe you can do yourself a favor,  stop… look… listen… smell… and discover.  Being around nature can reduce stress, help with creativity and give you that sense of deep happiness that we all crave.  So go out and take a walk… and absorb nature around you!
