The Joy of Walking....

The joys of walking are unmatched, and I’ve learnt this as I go for a walk every day. The benefits of walking everyday are so many that it is hard to overlook them.

Very few people really know about the benefits of walking or the joys of walking, and rarely do they enjoy it in the true sense, which hardly requires anything other than a positive mindset and attitude. I remember a beautiful quote at this point-

“Few people know how to take a walk. The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence and nothing too much.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


A major benefit of walking every day for me is to be able to connect with nature. I love to look around, be in the present, enjoy the nature, breathe in the fresh air, watch the flowers down the path, feel the moment, hear the chirping of the birds, and enjoy walking every day.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.  Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.  The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”  ~John Muir


I would like to mention the major benefits of walking for those who do wish to start and those who are already walking-

It’s good for your heart and helps reduce coronary heart diseases, stroke, and high cholesterol.It lowers blood pressure, body fat, and controls body weight.It cuts down on aches, pains, arthritis, back pains, and so many other ailments.It helps you sleep better and increases your energy levels.It reduces the risk of breast-cancer, colon cancer, and non-insulin dependent diabetes.It’s good for the brain, bones, muscles, and overall health and fitness.It’s a low-impact exercise, thus produces less stress on the knees and joints than other activities.It increases mental well being, elevates your mood, helps overcome depression and anxiety, and releases tension.It prolongs your life by nearly 2 minutes, and walking 20 minutes every day burns off 7 pounds of fat per year.

Let me share the place where I go for my walk with all of you, which is simply out of the world! Once I cross the roads across my house and walk a little distance, I come across a small, beautiful pathway leading right into the open fields.

There is a backdrop of lush green mountains and trees that reach the sky. The path meanders all around and between these fields, with pretty flowers by the side of the path, squirrels playing around, and birds gathering their meals, with the farmers off to their work early in the morning.

I always do get wonderful ideas for my posts and creative ideas for working, and this mostly happens when I walk, so I add that as one of my major benefits of walking!

“If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking.  Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.” ~Raymond Inmon

(It works for a woman too!!)
