A Walk A Day...

[greenleaf]

Welcome, @Rizen! Walking in nature is wonderful and helpful for lots of us, I'm hoping to today also.

I did get outside to work on my garden; it's finally both warm and sunny here at the same time! It's not quite the exercise of walking but it's something.

I took a nice jog a little while ago :)

I took a walk just now and the moon was eclipsed while I was walking. It was neat.

I did a walk today for an hour in the sun. It was cool and refreshing. I was low down but felt better after. It helps me work out things in my mind.

Today was the first day I saw tiny green buds on the trees. Yay!

Did a long walk today. I was reminded not to depend on anything outside myself to make the inside of myself feel better. I don't mean I shouldn't take necessary meds or food or seek friendship or therapy, but my healing must come ultimately from within.

The trees with buds had a cool aura. Lots of birds were out. I felt peaceful the second half of my walk.

Hi francie
My walks really change my mood to great.

It's amazing what a brisk walk can do. It moves the energy and breathing clean air is so relaxing to the mind it breaks the ptsd mind looping.

Hi @junglegirl - That is so true. It interrupts the loops best of anything! I don't know what I'd do without my walks. Tomorrow will be 50-ish and sunny. A perfect walk day.

I was feeling bad but I did make myself go for a walk. I often walk at 3 AM or weird times because that's when I'm awake.

Alrighty. I am going to get motivated and join the walkers. Sometimes I walk to work and back and now that it's autumn, the weather is perfect for it. I resolve to do that more often.

Tomorrow is my day off work and I am child free so I will walk out to the waterfall. My peaceful place. Thanks for the thread, love the idea.

I'm up to 4 miles a day now.

Yesterday I couldn't walk so I ran. I ran along the Bush track over rocks and stones for a good few kilometers. I reached the water. I stopped and spent some time taking it in. Mindfulness, lying on rocks, breathing This was all in a mad desperate effort to ground after T.

So I calmed and kept walking through rough scrub. Off the track just wandering and exploring and found that when I got further away from the water I felt very sad but when I walked closer to the water so that it was audible I lost the sadness. Strange.

It was good to run/walk. I worked with clients today so no walking. Perhaps a night run later?
