The reason for this has to do with how this low-impact exercise triggers the release of endorphins or brain chemicals that stimulate relaxation. If your work addiction has left you with limited time, you’re in luck.
A walk as short as 10 minutes can provide the stress-relieving benefits you need to reset your mind. If work has depleted you’re energy to the point where a vigorous walk seems like more trouble than it’s worth, you can try a slower-paced walking meditation to help you unwind.
Mindful walking is practiced within many forms of Buddhism and focuses on walking with reverence. This means that each step is taken with intentional breathing, whole-body awareness, and deep gratitude.
