I speak often about mindful, movable, meditation. Walking adds so many benefits to your overall mental heath and well being. Not to mention, it is a great time to meditate and quiet the noise inside our heads.
Experts offer many ways ti stick to your walking routine even when you feel like just chilling on the couch.
Schedule your walking time. We are all given the same amount of time in a day. What we do with the time is what matters. When you chose to exercise first thing in the day is usually best. Often as the day goes, so does the time. For me, when I wake up, I put on my running outfit and cannot remove it until I have walked my 45 minutes. For me, that is non-negotiable. I am important and taking care of me is top priority when it comes to my overall well being as a mother, friend, partner and member of society. Leave your clothes at the end of your bed when you go to sleep at night. Set your alarm for 15 minutes earlier in the morning.
As you move through your day, think of the great energy boost exercising gives you. Not to mention the great endorphins that are released. Research shows that a 20 minute workout can boost your mood by up to 12 hours. Focus on how you will feel when you walk back into the house after your amazing walk.
Walk with someone. Two is usually more fun than just one. You will be surprised at how quick 20, 30, 40 minutes goes when you have someone to talk to!
Have fun walking yourself into the best version of yourself!~Shirene
