Walking To Heal, Writing To Deal

We all need some down time.

And what greater way to spend our free time productively, by going for a walk?

A habit we should all make; walking is an effective exercise for the mind and body. An opportunity to reflect, to meditate, to discover meaning, and savour simply being alive, as the breeze invigorates you, and your heart pumps for the better.

An enriching experience; soaking in the atmosphere, observing sights and understanding the motion of the world- make that walk a mindless saunder, and it won't be tough.

Walk regularly, through any park, down any street, and soon it will feel effortless. Grab a friend to join the hike, and you'll forget the distance, because talking whilst walking is such a girl's thing! ;)

What do you feel about writing?

Boring? Fun? Complicated? Time-consuming? Love it?

Writing is an act we can use to our advantage. We can speak through our words, we can explain and express feelings that come out stronger and clearer written than said, we can help, educate and inspire through the words we write, we can bond and love through unspoken words, and even earn a living out of writing.

Writing can be amazingly therapeutic, and be that coping strategy you were looking for. From feelings you have never felt before, and a clearer perspective on life you never saw, writing will bring you that and much more :)
