Why stop at just once per week?


Going on a 15-minute 'awe walk' each week, where we stop to appreciate the world around us, can help boost positive emotions and reduce stress, a new study shows.

It's well-known that getting out of the house to take a short walk every day can dramatically improve our mood.


But US scientists say walking boosts our frame of mind even more if we make a note to soak up the beauty of all that is around us.


These 'awe walks', where we soak up nature, architecture and more, can boost healthy 'pro-social' emotions such as compassion and gratitude.


After analysing selfies taken during walks these walks over the course of eight weeks, the US experts found that 'awe walks' can make us smile more too.

I really need to walk more. It's too easy to hop on the four-wheeler, LOL.

I try to walk every hour for around 10 minutes. Keeps the blood flowing. It increases productivity too.

I do a lot of walking whenever I do a second floor remodel. Even on first floor installs you're always walking back and forth making cuts. I also do take a fair amount of time enjoying nature. Maintaining a woodland property keeps you pretty up close and personal with it. When cutting up trees, you usually end up with nature all over you, and a couple pounds of wood chips in your socks.
