Morning Walk Thoughts
Earlier this year, I started going on a walk every morning. They've lasted anything from two (yes, my morning meeting crept up on me!) to twenty minutes.
For my first walk, I decided not to listen to music or anything from my ever-growing podcast backlog. Let me just listen to nature for once, I said! 😆
During that walk, it hit me that I'd been neglecting good ol' pure thinking time! I wasn't stressed or burnt out, but I was always "go go go", jumping into my usual morning activities, looking at the todo list, planning out my day, trying to get as much done as possible, and I never really took a step back to assess if I was happy with how I was spending my time, both on a high level and down to the day-to-day, hour-by-hour level.
I found myself reassessing my systems and my goals, and also coming up with new fun structures to my days. I've enjoyed experimenting since!
Now I do put on a podcast more often than not, but I always want to make time for a "no-audio" walk.
I'd recommend a morning walk to anyone! It comes with mobility and sleep benefits too and the fresh air is invigorating, setting you up for a productive day! ✨
Do you go for a morning walk or have any other habits that give you peaceful thinking time?
