Wellbeing Practices #2 Walk in nature and lower the stress

Walk in nature with a good friend and lower your stress. Here is the data......

And to form the habit of walking daily, find a friend and walk with him in nature. Admiring each one of the amazing creatures on the way and the infinite beauty of the trees, leaves, clouds in the hills and sun shining on the mountain top. Add to that the authentic conversations where we can discuss our small triumphs without being judged and open sharing of our fears that can lead to immediate drop in the BP and stress levels. One hour of walk in nature with a curious / grateful mind and see the stress being replaced by restful while walking symbols.

Here is the image of the data recorded using the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) that many apps can do easily for you. Once you are aware of your stress levels here is the advice from Cleveland Clinic:

• Take care of your body.?Regular exercise and a healthy diet improve your overall health — especially the condition of your heart — and this can help improve your variability.
• Take care of your mind.?Your mental health is a vital part of your heart rate variability. Reducing and managing your stress level can improve your heart rate variability. If you have mental health concerns like anxiety or depression, managing these can make a difference. Thanks Sunit R. for an inspiring, joyful walk. And to my usual companion for the walk on the path of life Annie Dandavati for her 8 miles daily walk, inspiring many including me. I am now walking 4 miles in nature plus 4 miles of cardio on the machine daily.
