Walking is good exercise. It’s not as quick weight-reducing as more strenuous forms of exercise. But it is exercise, nonetheless, and that should never be overlooked.

It is a great way for clearing the mind, which is more of a spiritual thing, in my opinion, even if you are just working out what made you mad today, or making your grocery list. I think this form of emotional health should not be overlooked, either.

And a walk, even at night, allows you to see things you’ve never seen before, if you take a moment to look around. And often this is the same path you’ve taken before. So that means you are seeing the same thing in a new and fresh way. And that’s important to experience from time to time.

Best wishes with getting out on the path once more.

Doing this goal – slightly modified – will help you achieve several of your other goals.

Knock it back to taking a walk on 5 out of the past 7 days and see if you can stick to it until Christmas. That gives you the room to be easy on yourself if you have to miss the occasional day.

Good luck!
