Take your soul for a stroll

“Take your soul for a stroll. Long walks, short walks, morning walks,

evening walks — whatever form or length it takes. Walking is the best

way to get out of your head. Recall the invocation of the philosopher

Soren Kierkegaard, who said, ‘Above all, do not lose your desire to

walk: Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away

from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts.’ As if

in his footsteps, Freidrich Nietzsche also remarked, ‘Never trust a

thought that didn’t come by walking.’”
