👣 How to Start Mindful Walking

1. Choose a quiet route — a park, a riverside, or any peaceful outdoor path.
2. Walk slowly and deliberately, focusing on how your feet touch the ground.
3. Breathe deeply—inhale for four steps, exhale for four steps.

🧠 Focus on the Present

Avoid checking your phone or planning your day during this time. Instead, observe:

• The sound of leaves underfoot
• The warmth of sunlight on your skin
• The rhythm of your breathing

🌿 Benefits Beyond Stress Relief

• Improves posture and balance
• Boosts creativity by clearing mental clutter
• Enhances mood through the release of endorphins

💡 Pro Tip

Start with 10 minutes a day. Gradually, you’ll find it becomes a habit you look forward to, just like your morning coffee.
