Life fails to be perfect, but it never fails to be beautiful💛🌅 It is easy to become overwhelmed by the constant stresses and struggles of everyday life; rent, bills, relationships, workplace woes etc. Sometimes you need to take a step back from all the action and allow yourself to recharge🔋👍 For me, personally, this means popping in my headphones🎧 and going for a long walk, wherever my feet will carry me👣 🧠🌿
There are so many physical and mental benefits to walking such as…
🔸Reducing the risk of heart disease💗
🔸Stabilizing your weight⚖️
🔸Reducing your stress levels🤯
🔸Boosting your energy levels🏃♀️
🔸Uplifts your mood😊
🔸Improving blood circulation🔴
🔸Boosts sensory stimulation😲
🔸Reducing anxiety😰
🔸Improving lung functionality🌬️
🔸Lessens the chances of dementia💭
🔸Building your relationship with inner peace and serenity✌️🕊️
🔸Reducing the risk of cancer🙅
🔸Improving quality of sleep💤
🔸Boosts serotonin levels and eases the effects of depression🌞
🔸Reducing the chance of diabetes🙅
🔸Improving balance and coordination🧘
🔸Helping to spark creativity🎨
🔸Strengthening bones and muscle💪
🔸Lengthens attention span and enhances your memory🤔
🔸Improving blood pressure🤗
🔸Boosting your immune system🤧
...and that's to name just a few!😮
We can spend hundreds of pounds💰 on spa retreats and personal trainers but when we have a gift like mother nature on our doorstep that doesn't cost us a penny...why would you want to?!😵 In my personal opinion, a sunset is one of the most stunning sights we can witness upon this earth 🌍 Let's make time to step away from our screens even if only for 20 minutes a day⌛and appreciate the beauty that resides all around us🙌
