More Aimless Walks, Less Pounding on Keyboards

With cat on leash, we head out to explore the land.

Miley Jingle—my gorgeous green-eyed cat—and I have taken to going on outdoor strolls in my backyard, and while this needles my inner critic to its absolute edge, MJ and I are rather pleased to our whiskers about it.

And can I say it??

You know you’re graciously mature when you become overwhelmed at the beauty and life—even in one teeny tiny blade of grass—that surrounds you as the sun shines its golden light over all of it!

Aren’t you stunned by nature?? I want to roll around in it like my cat, but I’m too aware of how this would produce even more anxiety-inducing fodder for my neighbors, and I’ve alarmed them enough by standing and staring at their cherry blossoms with a goofy smile as I mentally hug it. 🌳 You see what nature does to you when you’re graciously mature?!)

But it is kinda fun to stand there and take it all in, which is why I’m making the case for more aimless walks FOR ALL!

This would result in less pounding on keyboards of computers wallpapered with images of cherry blossoms—a pale comparison to the real thing, but what else can we do as we wither away in our corporate silo-for-one cubicles? We need air!!!

Today, do yourself a solid and take 25 minutes right now—15 for the podcast and 10 for an aimless walk—and see how you feel afterward.

I bet that if you allow yourself those precious 25 minutes, your world won’t fall apart, and you’ll feel a little more spacious in your soul.
