Mindfulness and walking can go hand in hand. And today marks the start of #nationalwalkingmonth here in the UK. So even if you’re not going to walk to raise money then try and get a few more steps in your day for your own wellbeing. 👣👣👣
You can actually go for a 10-15-minute stroll and practice mindfulness the whole way through. 👣Really pay attention to each step you take along the way – the lifting and falling of each foot. 🦵🏼Notice each movement in your legs, how your arms swing, how your back and neck feels. Tap in to each part of your body as you walk. 🧠If your mind wanders to those unfinished bits of  business in your life just try to bring it back to the present moment.
👂🏼Concentrating on the sounds around you is a good way to come back to mindfulness. To tap into the present moment. 🐦Birdsong is very calming. 🌸If you’re lucky enough to be walking in countryside, try and tune in to the smells around you too. Don’t, like me, take a walk around the streets while the bin lorry is doing its rounds. 😝
As you finish your walk, bring your mind back to your body and the sensations in each part. 
So if you’re looking to grab 10 minutes of #trulymetime today, maybe think about a walk. Even in cities, a walk can be a mindful experience.
