Outdoor walks increase

my clarity

Outdoor walks increase my clarity.

When I encounter a taxing obstacle, I often

need to break from the thought process

and recuperate my senses. Sometimes, in

my concentration on the task at hand, I

forget that there is a whole world outside

these walls. When I remember, I am glad to

take a break outside.

Walking provides me with immense relief

and improves my cognitive efficiency.

Stepping into the sunlight is invigorating.

I begin my walk with a push. Sometimes it

is difficult to shake free of my concerns and

dilemmas. I force myself to temporarily set

them aside. I focus my thoughts on what I

see.

Nature is a beautiful and welcome

distraction. I become attuned to the

shapes, colors, and movements of plants. I

smile at the habits of animals. Sometimes a

fragrance in the air triggers my memories.

Often I only require a short walk. Ten

minutes is enough time to reinvigorate me.

Awakening my senses shifts my thought

processes. As I return after my walk, my

thoughts return to my concerns, but with

a new perspective.

The feeling of epiphany that sometimes

occurs is exhilarating. I marvel at how

removing myself from a challenging

situation, if only for a moment, results in my

ability to effortlessly to uncover a solution.

Today, I intend to break from my normal

routine and find a scenic place to walk. I

look forward to clearing my head and

relieving the anxiety of the day. I find that

removing my focus from the dilemma often

reveals the answer to be well within my

grasp.
