During COVID-19 pandemic I have spent many days at home with only short walks to the grocery. After a while, I realised how I really miss walking.  It helped me to start going for a walk again. 

We don’t always need to have a goal when we go for walk. We can just enjoy walking by itself, refresh our mind and stay fit. I noticed so much benefits. My mind became clearer, I felt refreshed and it helped me with creating new ideas.  

I started to really looking forward to my walks. I have learned to just walk without having a goal to go to shop or to plan a particular place to visit. It opened up a new way of thinking how to do things differently.
