EXERCISE nº1 - "Sensory Walking"

One of the most important habits to find the way toward your recovery is to be accustomed to go out of home to have a walk for just half an hour everyday.

Previous conditions:

1. Go alone. Just your mind and your body.
2. No worries. It is recommended walking at the end of the day, at late afternoon. Your only worry should be getting home to sleep.
3. Comfortable clothing.
4. Your unique purpose for walking should be your recovery. Without any errand or command.

Objective:

Get a space and a special moment for yourself, free of distractions and complex thoughts.
For this half an hour we might perform much more healthy exercises that I will describe in subsequent posts within this blog.

What must I do?:

Just crossing your door you should pay attention consciously at everything you do, see, hear, feel,... during your walk. Just as a kid would do.

Focus in not thinking about transcendent or abstract ideas such as challenges you must do tomorrow at work or at school. Or in your own problem of derealization.

Just pay attention to the movement of your body, your feet treading the cobbles of the pavement, walking on the sidewalk, looking at parked cars, trees, semaphores, the colors of the things,...

Try to enjoy your walk!
