A slow walk as the days comes to a close is the perfect cleanse of the mind before turning in for the night. There is something about the fresh air, the smell of pine needles, and the stillness that catches my attention and keeps me distracted.
Wandering is good for the soul and the mind. I find that my inner dialogue is most lucid whilst on an early morning or late night walk. Walking has also been an excellent way for me to learn how to value being alone. Embracing the idea of quality alone time as an essential part of my life has added layers of depth and intimacy to my relationships. It also has created many opportunities for spontaneity and beauty to exist in my life in ways that continue to surprise me.
