You are not alone if you ever get stressed over paying the bills, paying down debt, worrying about losing your job, findind a job, keeping your spouse happy, getting over a divorce, cleaning up your credit, putting food on the table, supporting the family, and how do I step it up and make things work?; the list goes on forever and so does the stress that comes along with it.
So if you are “human” and feel stress from the daily grind of life YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Personally, I like to take walks to relieve my stress for a couple of reasons. One great reason…it is free! For many of us, we simply do not have the budget to join some awesome gym, take those Pilates and yoga classes, and pay a personal trainer to get us into shape.
Walking is a great way to not only relieve stress but for general exercise. Seriously, if you go for a 20 minute walk it really helps clear your head of those daily demons that enter our thoughts. Relieving stress is a huge benefit to your health and state of mind. And clearing those negative thoughts really helps us get back on track and stay on track.
I bring this topic up because like most of us who are struggling through things right now, stress is going to be one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. And walking is a great way to get outside, clear your thoughts, reenergize our batteries, and give us that little break we need to keep on trying and never give up. I will sometimes keep on walking if my mind is really stressed out. This helps out a lot when I find myself against the wall in life... LONG WALKS.
So if you find yourself stressed out these days… take a walk and recharge!

Thanks Gina. I really notice it when I skip my walking. I start to get a little more cranky so that is when I know I need to get back to my walks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm out walking my dog in the woods I come back to my laptop ready to write a new blog post. Ideas happen when I'm out walking.

I get most of my best ideas walking. It's a great way to generate the creativity.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you are having bad weather... snow or raining outside? Don't forget you can always go to an indoor mall and take some laps around the mall.
