TAKE YOUR BRAIN FOR A WALK
Monday, Jan. 27, 2020
Morning walks are for exercise.
Everybody knows that.
Even people who don’t go for morning walks know that.
Morning walks let our brain’s filing cabinet open its drawers, calendar for the day ahead spread from ear-to-ear, and every part of yesterday spilled on our plate – all while we walk. Physical and mental working together; one enables, one processes.
Or you can sit at home, rationalizing why you have no time for a morning walk.
Seriously?
The morning doesn’t care if you walk a beach, a street, or a mall – doesn’t care if you walk slow, or fast, or at all…
“No time to walk” is the rationalization of most people in the workforce, because they have so much to do before they rush off to catch their train or jump in a car.
There are so many solutions to this: get up earlier, skip something else in your morning routine.
Tighten up the time spent on every morning item, and soon you’ll find there is 10 minutes, or 20, or 60 …
There is no reason for this, except to lengthen your life, and to improve its quality – that’s all. Don’t worry, the insurance company, government, and the undertakers are waiting for you, expecting that. like most people, you won’t take care of yourself or extend your life in beneficial ways. Great – if that’s what you want, but please get out of the way, so the rest of us have room to walk.
On a more serious note, in terms of brain activity – we are capable of processing so much, and science proves that those with active bodies have better brain activity.
