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.
