take daily walks

I walked down the street this morning, a short little distance. It felt really refreshing and was a good task in the morning. There was difficulties in the mentality of doing it but it was nice to get out and get past the worry of doing it or not doing it…just going. I know this may be hard to understand but I have people around me that sometimes make me feel guilty for walking or being active…almost as if it was unhealthy or negative. I need to get past this though because I know it makes me feel good and I want to make it part of my every day life.

I live in a beautiful area and there are absoulutely amazing places to just go out and walk here. One problem, I lack motivation to start. BUT, when I do—it is amazing! I think, I calm down about certain things, I recognize some of my irrational doings, and I can move on. Lately I have been thinking that I would like to start my day with a walk. I can foresee myself making excuses like….”oh, it’s raining”; or “I don’t want my friend to think I’m ‘over-doing’ something”...I think what I need to do is just start. I’m going to try one tomorrow before work and hopefully that won’t fall through.
