Walks start in the brain

I wanted to recover from my heart disease quickly. Walking was the first simple choice how to start with some activity. I bought wristband which counted the steps and set the goal – 10 000 steps/day. What was my surprise, when I checked the data in the end of the day… I walked only  7.000 steps… … and the next days it was similar. I had to change it. It was not easy to find out opportunities, where to add walking. There are my observations and related benefits from it:

  1. When you need something from your colleagues, visit them personally. It will also improve your relationship with colleagues. You will always get more information than by the phone or e-mail.
  2. When you shop, try to buy fresh products. Fresh fruits/vegetable are more healthy than frozen or preserved. Your refrigerator will contain only healthy products, which can affect also your weight.
  3. When you want to meet with friends, propose location closer to your friends. They will appreciate it as nice gesture and you will have opportunity to walk longer.
  4. When you go somewhere, do not go there directly – choose indirect route. You can discover places which are “behind the corner” but  you never had opportunity to go there.
  5. When you walk, observe the places around you. You have to create the pleasure to live your life and enjoy it. See, what is around you – you have only one life. It is up to you, if you choose “running” or walking. This it time, which you invest to yourself – so, use it accordingly.

The advice to exit sooner from public transportation is not there – I perceived it as item, which know all of you … .

Have a nice walking!
