Walking serves many purposes to include physical exercise, fresh air, relaxation, companionship and travel. There has been much research on the many benefits which walking and mindfulness offers to improve psychological health by; reducing stress, anxiety and depression, mental fatigue whilst enhancing mood and gaining more energy. Try walking in a natural environment, near a river or forest. As you walk take time to use all your senses, by noticing the sounds of the water, fallen leaves and branches underneath your feet as you walk. Walking in nature enables you to connect with your natural surroundings and become more in tune with your natural body rhythm.
