Are You Feeling Out Of Sorts? Take A Walk Outdoors For Your Best Life

Take A Walk If You Are Feeling Out Of Sorts

Do you ever have one of those days when you are simply feeling out of sorts? I know I do. It can be difficult to stay productive when you are feeling out of sorts. You might have so many ideas and thoughts in your head that it’s tough to focus on your to-do list.

Now you do not have to allow the feeling out of sorts to ruin your productivity. You can quiet your mind if you are feeling out of sorts by simply going outdoors for a walk. Then when you are ready, you’ll be able to return to work with focus and clarity.

You may or may not know that we believe walking is the link to living a healthy and vibrant life.

We believe walking inspires the mind, activates the body, and nourishes the soul. 

Taking a walk, even a short one, is helpful when you are feeling stressed. Not only does walking get you away from your desk, but we know it’s also a great way to relieve stress. Go outdoors and enjoy some nature if possible. The more peaceful and quieter it is the better the opportunity to enjoy your time outdoors walking. Be choosy with your location. Busy streets can make it hard for you to focus and relax. Instead, opt for quiet streets or walk at a local park that you enjoy visiting.

Research has shown that walking at a lively pace of at least 150 minutes a week can help you:
• Walking will help reduce stress – We wrote about this here 
• Think better, feel better and sleep better.
•Reduce your risk of serious diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several types of cancer.

•Improve memory and reduce your risk of dementia.
•Boost bone strength and reduce your risk of osteoporosis.
•Prevent weight gain. (source – https://heart.org )

What we have found over the past five-plus years is that getting out for a daily walk helps with many aspects of life. Walking connects the mind and body, and helps with reducing stress, thinking better and overall well-being. 

"Walking for Exercise- Walking is one of the most popular forms of exercise worldwide. It doesn’t require expensive equipment or special skills, and it provides a wide range of health benefits. Whether you choose an outdoor solitary path in nature, a busy route on city sidewalks, a treadmill workout, or a few rounds around your office building, walking is a relatively accessible way to stay active."
