      I miss not having a car and being forced to walk. Now I have to be much more deliberate. I walk till I can sense my own heart speak to me or God’s love creep in over my worries. Sometimes 20 minutes sometimes 2 hours. Eventually it happens.

        Kierkegaard's quote is gold. You can walk almost any problem away.

          Walking is very good. It helps your insides mobilize better than most exercises.

          The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear.

            How beneficial is it to do grounding? If it is beneficial, what is the best way to walk barefoot?

              This story was posted in a thread on the RPF back in 2017

              TL;DR is that he crushed his cortisol, saw a 100% increase in total testosterone despite losing 10lbs in a month.

              Walking is so powerful for combatting stress that even during extensive lipolysis you can see a 50% drop in cortisol.

                Hello @Atlas , that article was posted in the opening comment. Yes, it is truly great to walk. Not only are you setting yourself up for a great life, but you are also filled with joy and tranquillity while you are doing it.

                            I work construction over the spring/summer/fall and get in anywhere between 15-20,000 steps per day. Outside in the sun. It is when i feel the healthiest, my joints don’t hurt, i am able to train 4 days per week with no issue. It’s the perfect recovery, GPP, cardio, etc .

                                One of the best things you can do is get as far away from the city as possible and get closer to nature for a walk. You can truly feel joy and happiness, and your body and soul thank you for this moment.
                                Or if you want to solve a problem at work or something else, go for a walk. It’s crazy how quickly your brain can find a solution that seems hard to find if you're in the office or any closed environment.

                                  At the the end of a 40 min walk in nature I often feel a headache creeping in. I have come to the conclusion that it must be from low blood sugar. I briefly remember Ray talking about how stimulating a pleasant walk could be.

                                    Read “A Philosophy of Walking” by Frédéric Gros. Good book, at least on famous historical figures who walked often. Nietzsche would walk some ~20 miles a day in the Swiss mountains.

                                    On another note, I have been trying to find a trade wherein walking outdoors, alone, and being paid moderately are present. I’ve found that forestry, mail delivery are some of the few that fit this criteria. Any other ideas?

                                      @Norwegian-Mugabe I walk every day and often think of this quote.

                                      I'd go crazy if I didn't walk.

                                        I always make much better decisions after taking a walk with no phone. Most of the dumb decisions I have made are the result of not walking or walking when listening to a podcast/music

                                          "Sit as little as possible; do not believe any idea that was not born in the open air and of free movement — in which the muscles do not also revel… Sitting still… is the real sin against the Holy Ghost." - Nietzsche

                                          Kant was famous for his walks. Hume wrote that when he would become overwhelmed by doubt and fear by the magnitude of what he was attempting and the possibility of him being wrong, he would go on a walk, spend a little time with friends, and return confident in his work. Thoreau has a book on walking, but I haven't read it. Stimulation of the body stimulates the mind, but the serenity particular to walking seems to produce special effects. I always feel better after a long walk--if nothing else its a good reminder that all you really need are your own two feet. When I was in a very bad place, I wrote down, as a rule: "if you feel like you need someone, go for a walk" and it always worked. In fact, I think I'll go for one now.

                                            If walking is: healthy, enjoyable, and people end up making good deisions/plans while walking, why are the masses so disinclined towards taking a walk?
