1: Introduction Can you think of an instance when someone deeply harmed you? This can be a friend who broke your trust, a loved one who disappointed you, or a co-worker who undercut your efforts. In these situations, forgiveness may appear to be an impossible task. Have you ever thought about the transformational power of forgiveness? In this blog post, you will learn about the powerful impact forgiveness can have on your live, as well as the great freedom and inner peace it provides. 2: What is Forgiveness Forgiveness is often seen as an act of weakness. However, this is a skill that only the strongest and most mature people possess. Forgiveness can liberate you from a constant anger towards a person and can cure relationships. As Buddha once said: “ Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned .”.

2: How walking can enhance your wellbeing, creativity and productivity
Walking is as simple as it can get to transform your life.
Your hearth rate doesn’t go up a lot, you don’t have to do a lot of effort and
you can enjoy the fresh air. Although this is so simple, it gives numerous
benefits like enhancing your wellbeing, creativity and productivity but also
your physical health, you get sunlight and strengthen your relationships with
others if you do it with a friend just to name a few.
As said, walking can improve your productivity dramatically.
By walking, you get fresh air and sunlight which helps you to think more
clearly. You will also be able to focus for longer periods of time. Apart
from that, it also stimulates creativity according to a research of Dr Emma.
She divided volunteers into a walking group and a sitting group. After the one
group walked and the other group sat for 30 minutes, Emma gave them the task to
think of innovate solution, generate unique ideas and so on. The participants
who embraced the simple act of walking experienced a heightened ability to
connect disparate concepts, visualize new perspectives, and embrace
unconventional approaches.
3: Walking meditation
Walking meditation is a mindful practice that combines the
act of walking with a meditative state of mind. With each step, you bring
your full awareness to the physical sensations of walking, the rhythm of your
breath and the present moment. To put it more practical, focus on your
breath while you walk and while you are doing that, look at your surroundings
without judging. For example, if you observe a tree, don’t think about whether
the tree is beautiful or not. Just observe the tree without judging and you will
experience a peaceful mind.
4: Walking in Your Daily Routine
Incorporating walking into your daily routine doesn't have
to be a daunting task. Start small by taking short walks of 5 minutes during
your breaks at work or simply after dinner. If you live within a reasonable
distance, consider walking or cycling to your workplace instead of driving. Use
technology such as fitness trackers or smartphone apps to set goals and track
your progress. Remember, every step counts towards improving your wellbeing and
productivity.
Some people are using their phone while walking or listen to
music. I would advise you to not use your phone as it will only give you more
stress. Listening to music is a good way for some people to destress. If you
want to take it a step further, you can not listen to music and practice
walking meditation.
5: Conclusion
The important thing I want you to remember is that walking brings
peace to the mind precisely because it doesn't overstimulate. It can
improve your health, spark your imagination, and boost your output. You can
benefit much from this easy activity by including walking in your regular
routine and engaging in mindful walking meditation.
