The Creatrix Journey

Mindful Walking


Listen Later

As you know, this podcast is all about nature, connection and creativity. And I am here to share my love of walking and writing and why I think it's so beneficial for mind, body and spirit. I believe nature connection, boosts our creativity and connects us to what's really important and the creative things we want to share with the world. 

Over the past few years, the world has experienced unprecedented change. It's been good for some people and not so good for others, and many people have turned to walking as a hobby and it's a great thing to see. But what I have noticed is that people are still very distracted and disconnected so today we're going to concentrate on mindful walking and why it is so beneficial. 

 

Here are the highlights:

(02:54) Misconceptions about mindfulness

(04:08) Mindful walking means mindful movement 

(04:51) Why is mindfulness important?

(06:11) Think about how we move our bodies whilst walking

(07:01) Concentrate on your breathing

(07:23) Observe your surroundings

(07:53) What happens when you get distracted?
