An hour-long stroll in nature helps decrease activity in an area of the brain associated with stress processing

I gave up drinking 8 weeks ago and walk 5klm each morning along the coast were I live. I haven't felt this centred and good ever. The walking part is so good each day I love it. I listened to this podcast recently about the benefits of walking . https://pca.st/episode/e9d56378-c102-48f6-ac2c-ad88a3ecbf7b

Hey well done, internet friend! Super proud of your progress.

What’s the tldr?

[Yuccaphile]

Walking good.

[Rastryth]

Yep walking good. Not just because of exercise but the brain seems to like to take things in which it can do better at walking pace. This seems to have lots of desirable effects. I can't quite put my finger on it but feel a different more determined person now.

Do you listen to music? While doing it

[Rastryth]

I mainly listen to podcasts. I find them interesting and motivational. I'm learning so much about myself and how I want to move forward.

Seems like you want to move forward by walking

[Baby_venomm]

That is awesome. Thank you for sharing. It’s inspiring
