Walking

Walking

There’s lots of different types of walking, and most often we do it to get ourselves somewhere we need to go, such as to work or school or to an appointment of some kind. This means that walking can often be a hurried means to an end, more so than a mindful or peaceful act. 

Taking some time to walk, just for the sake of walking, and without thinking too much about where you’re going or why, can be an act of self-care. If you go alone, it’s a type of walking that is just for you and time spent only on yourself – although it’s important to make sure you’re safe, too. Letting someone know that you’re going on a walk will reassure others that you are not lost or missing. Walking with friends or people you are close to you can help as well, as it gives you a space to talk that doesn’t feel too claustrophobic or pressured. 

Some apps and websites can help with walking.  This 10 minute walking meditation is just one of many you can find online.
