Often, to cheer us up, is it best to walk? Slow, fast, soft, hard, rigid and flexible steps helped me lose mental weight and relieve my heart.
Walking helped relieve the burden of my pains, emotions and thoughts; it helped me alleviate anxiety and release worries, because walking paths have something that leads to a healthier emotional and cognitive life.
- Because? There are many reasons.
- But the main thing to highlight is that walking helps us to reserve a part of our soul.
- Something that we often forget and that certainly poses enormous problems to us at all levels.
When the tension suffocates you, WALK. It is no longer an ingredient in a cookbook about happiness, but it is certainly the main sweetener of life in terms of well-being. Something seemingly so simple can help us solve problems and reorganize our mental dispatch table.
This goes hand in hand with the simple reason that determines our own emotional and cognitive state: although what we do (driving) is the tip of the iceberg, we are who we are through an interrelationship between thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
If we stay active, our mind will activate alternative thoughts and calm the emotions that plague our ability to face difficulties, so getting moving ends up being something very positive for us.
To be absolutely clear, we must not forget, in any aspect of our own life, that each behavior determines and is determined by thoughts and emotions, these three pillars coexist in us as if they were a clock.
John Kabat-Zinn, the father of mindfulness in the West, suggests that an easy way to add awareness to our own lives is to practice walking meditation. In other words, it is about drawing attention to the real experience of walking while doing it.
It is nothing more than walking and knowing what we are doing, however, it must be made clear that this does not mean that we should look at our feet, when we try, we will realize that nothing is as simple as that. Sounds.
It is rare to simply walk, even in these situations where we go out to ‘walk’, we usually walk because we want to go from place to place, which ends up making our own body the bond of our mind.
So, like the expert already quoted in his book Do You Experience Crises to the Max?:
? (?) Often, the body is in fact the driver of the mind, bringing it to taste or disgust and following orders. If the mind is pressed, the body runs. If the mind is attracted to something interesting, the head rotates and the body changes direction or stops. Besides, and obviously, ideas of all kinds are scattered across the mind in the same way as when we’re sitting and breathing. Without realizing it?
The process of meditation through the act of walking presents the need to:
This helps calm your mind, as it literally has nowhere to go, so nothing can distract you.
Walking or not meditating helps us clear our minds and fulminate certain somatic experiences that accompany the anguish of walking along a path full of obstacles (because often, as we know, our lives become like this).
Any time is good to give us the pleasure of walking to a place that suits our own needs. Anyone who tries or tried it will know that with a long walk walking on the compass of life is much easier and more rewarding.
