Increasing Joy in Your Life
Walking will cause an increase in joy in your life.
Aside from the benefits to your physical health, walking will improve your emotional well-being. The peaceful experience of a walk through the park on a mild spring day, stopping to smell the flowers, can be a relaxing and joyful one. You don't have to walk because it's good for you. You can do it because it's fun.
You can use your walking program to catch up on your socializing. Reconnect with friends and family members by sharing a nice long walk with them, discussing the day's events or reminiscing about the good old days. Given the nature of our equally hectic schedules, sometimes the only time my wife and I get to talk over some items is during a pleasant evening walk. Our walking program sets a positive example for our kids and someday in the future, because we'll be fit, we'll be able to keep up with grandchildren. Our emotional outlook on life in enhanced by the knowledge that we'll be in good physical condition.
