Quote Tweet
For the last six months I’ve gone for a 30 - 45 minute walk every morning as close to waking as possible. I’ve missed maybe three days when it was raining heavily.
It’s become one of my favourite habits - seems to have a strong link with how good I feel.

8. "taking really slow, luxurious walks and just enjoying all sensation"
Quote Tweet
“stop and smell the roses” is such a stock phrase
I do notice tho like, in moments of real freedom, one of the things I naturally end up doing is taking really slow, luxurious walks and just enjoying all sensation- wind and sun on my skin, and even the physical sense of balance

12. "Meditation masters take long, aimless walks... as long and as often as they have time for, and it’s unwasted time"
Quote Tweet
Replying to @meditationstuff and @vgr
Meditation masters take long, aimless walks, with no particular relation to their (body)mind, as long and as often as they have time for, and it’s unwasted time; it’s time well spent, in terms of their values and goals and hopes and dreams, as it were.
