winter has some short days but they feel so long, i’m so tired. so i’ve recently realised that i don’t need to rush, i can just walk. i don’t need to stay indoors all day because i know it’s going to get dark quickly, i still have a day to go outside.

like a good night of sleep, a long walk alone can do wonders for your mood.
when i get home from work i always like to tell myself it’ll be a quick loop around the park, but it inevitably turns into an hour, at minimum, of daydreaming to the music in my headphones and letting my feet carry me.
looking forward to the spring so these long and bundled walks can become long and blissful jogs

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
