Improve your life with just one simple trick!
Sounds like clickbait, but this is actual real advice this time
While I enjoy writing satirical articles after a clickbait title, this one isn’t satire. If there’s a piece of advice I could give, this would be this:
Get yourself some nice headphones that connect with your phone
After trying a whole bunch of different cheapo ones, I got airpods, and I don’t regret that choice, the voice quality is a lot better than the rest I’ve used
And then,
Go on a long walk in nature
Take some time to think about things during your walk, and/or listen to podcasts, and/or listen to music
After spending time with your own thoughts, call your parents (or someone else important to you)
That’s it!
If you do that once a week, your life will be much better.
Walking is incredibly healthy for your body and mind. So many times I have something that I’m stressed about and don’t want to think about, but something about taking a long walk provided me with clarity and actionable steps to handle it.
Reaching out to your parents / friends / siblings is something we often don’t make time to do, and we should. And if you do it while walking, you can be productive while being productive!
So, that is my honest advice for how to improve your life. I’m gonna go on a walk right now. Until next week!
Bullish on this advice
I live near a state park and walk in daily with my dog. If I walk in the morning I like to go without any audio and just listen to the birds and nature. If it's the afternoon I much more likely to listen to a podcast/music. I truly believe that doing this keeps my sanity in this crazy world. Just being alone with myself (and doggo) makes the endorphins flow.
