Simplify

I live one and a half miles from my office. I usually ride my bicycle. But recently, due to a knee injury, I’ve been walking. I have found it’s a great way to start my day.

Walking is slow. It gives me time to observe my surroundings, think about the day ahead of me and enjoy the current moment, all at the same time. It’s hard to be stressed out while walking. At least for me, the act of walking is calming.

I realize that not everyone lives close enough to work to walk. But everyone can walk somewhere - even if it is just around the block. Next time you are stressed out and need a break, take a walk.
