A Year of Contemplation

Take a Walk (Day 172)

​I miss going for walks with friends. Since my COPD diagnosis, and my friends desire to do more “hiking” and less “walking”, that practice has fallen by the wayside. As an aside, if any of y’all are in the area and feel like going for a pastoral walk with me, let me know. I’m talkin’ neighborhood stroll. Flatland kinda stuff. 

Anyway… 

In his work, On Tranquility of Mind, Seneca said…
​We should take wandering outdoor walks, so that the mind might be nourished and refreshed by the open air and deep breathing.” (17.8)
​A stroll in the open air can do SO many things for our well-being, aside from the physical benefits. Time for a pause, change of perspective, a moment to cool off… going for that walk heals our spirit. 

15-20 min. Every other day, at the least. 

Let’s go for a walk. In our own time zones, and our own neighborhoods… let’s take a walk. 

(See y’all tomorrow.)

    About the Blog

    Awakening the desire to explore Stoicism, and how it relates to his existing beliefs, Rev. William committed to working through the text, The Daily Stoic, a year-long journey to awaken the Stoic mind. 
    How things are structured can be found in the first post.
