i think its bc im used to walking everywhere in general but having at least a 10 minute walk will completely change my mood and entire day. even thru rain or snow, i will just layer up and try to achieve this- sometimes its impossible but its been 95% successful so far!!! truly life changing <3 just throw on a good playlist or podcast, or use it to think about stuff

i’m averaging 14,000 steps a day for the past year, why? i walk everywhere. at one point i was averaging 16,000 (this is my flex). you get to explore a city and now when people ask me for directions i can actually tell them bc i’ve gotten really good at knowing where i am. if it takes less than an hour for me to walk from a to b, i will walk. if i have enough time i’ll walk 2+ hours just to see someone. just put on a good playlist/pod and go go go!!

a super unique and cool rec for u all...
but i just moved from the Oakland hills to a more walkable area and !breaking news! it is completely changing my life for the better. at first i found it difficult to motivate myself but setting out my clothes shoes and headphones the night before so i can just slip into the fit and goooo has helped a ton.
i also like to give myself little, informal quests to complete on each walk just 2 spice things up so here are some from the past week:
- listen to a new episode of POOG or Seek Treatment (the only 2 pods i listen to)
- find a blue box and finally mail that damn letter to Laura
- re-fill bag of coffee from Ain't Normal cafe
- call my BFF in Copenhagen bc time zones align at 7 in the morning
- buy q-tips at Walgreen's
some ideas for next week to pay more attention to my surroundings and connect:
- bring my film camera and take 5 pictures
- notice 5 birds, trees, flowers, plants, etc
- smile at 5 strangers!!!
- call my parents bc they're probably on a walk too
- call my grandparents in India bc time zones also align...
anyway. i love 2 walk now

especially if it’s one of those cloudless, sunny winter days. even if it’s colder out don’t let it stop you, layer up and find some nice park or pretty street to walk down. emphasis on layer up though, once you get walking and warm up you can shed a layer but if having cold hands will turn you back make sure you’re as cozy as possible going into it. I find it helps your mind to be idle and grounds you in the world for a bit. you don’t really even need a destination in mind, maybe you’ll just find a part of your city you didn’t know or take in a nice view, maybe you’ll even bump into a friend. put on some good music or just take in the sounds around you. I did this pretty regularly around brooklyn during the pandemic and along with being some good excercise it really does plug you in to your surroundings more

its literally my closet, i bought it bc i like it and want to wear it- why would i not rewear the outfit if it was a hit? forever thinking of that lizzie mcguire "well you're an outfit remember-er" quote

the internet needs less chaos and self serving agendas, no more arguing with blue check marks for rage bait and getting people paid who cannot stand 10 toes down on their beliefs. reverting back to writing out every single thought and belief I have inside a journal like its my mini manifesto
