‘Walking’-Most believe only helps in weight loss or get into shape. But, it’s more than that it actually also helps in overcoming stress. Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries. Walking emotionally is one way to get rid of stress or lower your stress levels.

As you begin to regularly shed your daily tensions through movement and physical activity, you may find that this focus on a single task, and the resulting energy and optimism, can help you remain calm and clear in everything you do.

Improves your mood:- Regular Walking can increase self-confidence, it can relax you, and it can lower the symptoms associated with mild depression, Stress and anxiety. Walking can also improve your sleep, which is often disrupted by stress, depression and anxiety. All of these walking benefits can ease your stress levels and give you a sense of command over your body and your life.

    This made me smile. I am a walker. Yep, I said it. I have been a walker for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the country, our little dog and I went on daily (sometimes multiple times a day) walks. No leashes. Just exploring.
