InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
January 24-25-26, 2025
This is Marie T. Russell, publisher of InnerSelf.com wishing you a day of walking your way to health (today and every day).
Walking is a great form of exercise, and best of all, it's free. No need for fancy expensive equipment, no need for any particular gym or locale. You can even walk around your house or apartment if the weather is not conducive to outdoor walking. But walking out in Nature is highly recommended, not only for the exercise but for the fresh air. And if you can walk barefoot on Mother Earth, you'll also connect with some healing energy. You can visualize bringing in healing energy through your left foot, and releasing unwanted energies through your right.
The focus for today is:
I choose to walk my way toward my ideal body weight.
Today's inspiration is written by Michael J. Gelb and Bruce Fertman, authors of the book: Walking Well.
"The simplest, easiest, and most enjoyable way to regulate your weight is to increase the number of steps you take every day and to gradually quicken your pace.
"If you would like to walk your way toward your ideal body weight, then you’ll accelerate your progress if you enjoy a walk first thing in the morning before breakfast and again after dinner. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to work or the store when possible, and get up from your desk and walk around during phone calls.
"Prevention magazine sums it up in the headline of a recent article, Walking Is the Secret to Weight Loss."
