Walking
I use to walk the track at the schools. The fresh air and the sun always helped me so much.
I found it cleared my head along with the pain & I slept much better. I realize not everyone can do this but if you can try it. At first I was lucky to make one lap then I would do a bit more. It amazed me how it helped my mind & sleep plus pain. I would dress according to the weather. I loved it!
I love that you were able to use walking as a form of exercise and also a great way to improve your mental health,
! I, too, am a big fan of walking. It's a form of exercise that most people can do; it's inexpensive, easy to do in most places, and it's relatively easy on the body.
Are you still able to walk sometimes?
Best, Erin, Team Member.Hi Erin thank you for your response I appreciate it more than you know.
You’re right it’s inexpensive, and something you don’t have to deal with a lot of thought process. I have had a hard time in the past couple years getting up and going. My husband Retired, and for some reason I stopped doing everything. It is something I intend to do this year for sure. I’m trying now to find someone I can talk to about some issues. I’m having a hard time with.
About yourself, are you able to exercise at all? It’s amazing how it can clear your head and ease your mind. I remember in the summer after my walk I would sit up on the bleachers and just look at the sky not realizing how lucky I was to be able to do it. I do hope to get back to it as soon as possible. Again, thank you very much for your response. It means a lot to me.
All my best to you, hope you are well, Susan 😊(Susan), my husband and I are a number of years out from retiring, but I can see how that would be a pretty seismic shift for a relationship. Even if it's a good change, it's still a big change to adjust to!
Fortunately, I have a teenager at home that loves to walk and doesn't let me make any excuses 😉 . It's nice to have a built in accountability check like that!
I hope you are able to get walking again.
Best, Erin, Team Member.
